Addonics Announces New DVD Duplicator and External Burner
August 06, 2003
San Jose, CA - Addonics Technologies has announced new DVD DigiCopiers, featuring a 4X DVD+/-R/RW duplicator, external DVD+/-R/RW burner for PCs and networks, and multiple drive interface support for USB 2.0, FireWire, CardBus or Serial ATA-based systems.
The device is compatible with all popular media, the manufacturer describes. The new line of Addonics DVD+/-R/RW DigiCopiers supports read/write to DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, Double-sided DVD, CD-R and CD-RW media.
No operating system or PC is needed to use the new Addonics DVD DigiCopier as a duplicating station. To copy DVDs or CDs: (1.) Place the master DVD/CD into the source drive (2.) Load blank media in the destination drive (3.) Within few minutes, the DVD or CD is copied. The manufacturer notes that the DVD+/-R/RW DigiCopier may not able to duplicate a copy-protected DVD or CD.
Using standard 4.7GB or 9.4GB doubled-sided DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW or DVD-RW media, users easily copy their own corporate or personal videos for playback on computer DVD or regular DVD players.
The new Addonics drive is more than a stand-alone DVD/CD copier. It is also an external DVD+/-R/RW burner. The DVD+/-R/RW DigiCopier can be used to master DVD titles, music CDs, photo CDs or data CDs. Users just connect the drive to any desktop or notebook PC with the Addonics interface cable (USB 2.0, FireWire, CardBus or Serial ATA) and install the DVD/CD mastering software that comes bundled with the unit. After you create your own master, you can now make extra copies to distribute to your friends or associates.
The source drive of the DVD DigiCopier operates at 16X Maximum DVD-ROM. The destination drive is a DVD+/-R/RW device with 4X on DVD+/-R, 2X on DVD+/-RW, and a 16x8x32 CDRW. Other features include automatic format detection, which detects DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, CD-R and CDRW media to make the drive perform at the maximum speed of the media.
The drive can achieve a data transfer rate of up to 21,600KB/sec (16X DVD-ROM) with a FireWire, USB 2.0 or Serial ATA interface. The small footprint duplicator weighs just 10.03 lbs and measures 7.5 wide x 10.63 deep x 6.75 inches high.
