Rimage Digital Publishing Systems to Feature Faster Blu-ray Disc Production Capabilities

Minneapolis, MN - Rimage Corporation (Nasdaq: RIMG) today announced that new 4x Blu-ray Disc(tm) authoring drives will be available for select Rimage digital publishing systems beginning in May 2007.

With twice the write speed of its predecessor, the new Blu-ray Disc writer revolutionizes the potential for high-capacity disc output. Rimage's ability to harness the speed and capacity of the Blu-ray platform gives users a new choice for digital archiving. High-definition video producers and software developers are among the many end users who will benefit from new Blu-ray Disc writing technology.

"Rimage has a strong reputation for meeting customers' requirements for critical publishing applications," said Manny Almeida, chief operating officer for Rimage. "and faster Blu-ray recording technology is yet another example of how Rimage innovation is helping to improve the work of digital content producers worldwide."

At roughly five times the capacity of DVD media and more than 35 times that of CDs, blue laser disc technology offers a more effective method to archive large data sets. From high-capacity data files to large amounts of streaming video content, maximum compatibility is ensured due to disc format standardization. Unlike tape, where the format can vary by brand, setting and operating system, Blu-ray Discs are emerging as the new standard for digital output.

"We're pleased that Rimage has chosen to offer TDK thermal printable Blu-ray Disc media to its customers," commented Sethu Palat, TDK Director of Marketing. "TDK's thermal printable Blu-ray Disc media seamlessly integrates with Rimage's hardware and disc authoring software to provide unrivaled printing quality, speed and capacity to users who need a reliable and portable data storage solution. TDK Blu-ray Disc media ensures optimal production results for Rimage's customers."

The Producer III (8100N and 7100N) with new 4x Blu-ray drives will be available through Rimage and its global network of value added resellers (VARs). Rimage provides worldwide support for all of its disc publishing systems, including personal call center services, a full line of consumables and maintenance options designed to maximize the quality of its systems and fit each customer's unique needs.
