Writing Quality Tests - 3T Jitter Tests

The same Nero compilation used in the previous jitter tests was used once again, this time with media from different brands. The recording speed was the maximum in all cases. The following graphs indicate the 3T Pit & Land Jitter results.

- 3T Pit results

According to the results we took from the jitter measurements, the BTC performed well with some of the media brands we used. Ritek and MAM prove to be very good combinations with the BTC recorder, whereas Maxell, CMC and Hi-Space media returned high jitter results.

The average 3T Jitter values for all manufacturers discs are illustrated in the following graph.

- 3T Land results

The land jitter values were almost at the same levels as with 3T pit jitter, where once again only MAM and Ritek media produced acceptable results.

- Summary

The drive performed poorly with various cd media. While MAM and Ritek media had very good values, all the other brands were way too high.

On the following page we check the C1 and C2 error rates for the same discs.
