Next generation of CinemaStar debuts
Hitachi proudly presents the next in the series of hard drives designed specifically for the role 
of storage in digital video and surveillance applications. The CinemaStar P7K500 hard drive 
provides customized features, high capacity and power efficiency making it an ideal solution for 
surveillance systems and consumer electronics (CE) devices like digital video recorders and 
set-top boxes. 
Customized features support on-demand digital video solutions
An exceptional blend of audio/visual (AV) features fine tunes the CinemaStar P7K500 for 
digital video storage needs. Optimized to record multiple, simultaneous video streams, Hitachi 
SmoothStream technology is enabled to support the ATA-7 streaming command set, and SCT 
provides time-limited error recovery and thermal monitoring capabilities. Because IT data and 
video streams have different throughput demands, AV-Zoning allows the definition of various 
error recovery procedures for predefined ranges of data blocks, or zones. This feature enables 
the system to effectively deliver critical system data and time-sensitive video content from a 
single drive. Other features that help tailor this drive for streaming video applications include 
Read Continuous mode, which helps manage error recovery for video streams, and Media 
Maintenance enhancements, which help prevent track wear-out from around-the-clock operation.
Power efficient for cooler operation and longer life
Leveraging six generations of power management technology, this new breed of video drive 
delivers best-in-class power management and thermal emissions. HiVERT technology was 
pioneered on 2.5-inch drives to help maximize battery life, but also works for this 3.5-inch 
hard drive to help minimize power consumption. These standard features on the CinemaStar 
P7K500 enable manufacturers to develop video systems that run cooler and require less 
power which ultimately leads to longer product life.
