Pioneer Electronics

Pioneer Electronics has been an innovator of optical disc technology since it shipped its first LaserDisc products, the precursor to DVD, to the consumer market in 1980.

In 2009, Pioneer announces the BDR-205 Blu-ray Disc® Writer for computers, the industry’s first and fastest 12x Blu-ray Disc Writer for single and dual-layer Blu-ray Disc (BD) media. Ideal for video authoring providers and system builders, the Pioneer® BD/DVD/CD Writer provides accurate, rapid performance for demanding applications.

“The BDR-205 drive further confirms Pioneer’s commitment to Blu-ray, and this next generation Blu-ray Disc writer is a great example of our no-compromise approach to optical disc product development. “We are bringing to market the fastest Blu-ray Disc writer to date, and it is just one of the many ‘firsts’ that have come to define Pioneer’s 30-year heritage in optical disc innovation and leadership,” said Rob Thompson, General Manager of optical disc sales for Pioneer Electronics in Australia..
