HANOVER, Germany, March 14, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Alera Technologies, developer and manufacturer of Advanced Optical Recording Solutions debuts yet another advanced DVD recording solution, the DVD+R Cruiser(tm), at the DVD+RW Alliance Press Event at CeBIT 2002.
The DVD+R Cruiser incorporates the newly released DVD+R technology that can record using both DVD+R Write Once and DVD+RW ReWritable media. With the DVD+R Cruiser, users have the advantages of being able to rewrite discs as the situation requires as well as make non-alterable, non-erasable records.

The DVD+R Cruiser (Alera Technologies Part no. 270104) can be connected to multiple systems with different interfaces by merely changing cables. The DVD+R Cruiser external solution is offered with A-Connect(tm) USB 2.0 connection as standard. The DVD+R Cruiser can also be connected with optional A-Connect FireWire IEEE 1394 Connection Kits (Alera Technologies Part no. 240110 for PC; Alera Technologies Part no. 240115 including Charismac Discribe software for Macintosh) and Cardbus/PCMCIA Connection Kits (Alera Technologies Part no. 240112).
