Primera Intros Pro-Grade CD / DVD Publishing System
November 16, 2004
Plymouth, MN - Primera Technology has announced its BravoPro Disc Publisher.
Instead of copying and labeling discs one at a time, BravoPro is designed for hands-free, automated production of up to 100 CDs or DVDs per job. An advanced robotic mechanism is used to transport discs into the built-in 52x CD-R recorders or optional Pioneer combo DVD±R/CD-R recorders. After recording, discs are transported to the integrated printer and printed in full color at up to 4800 dpi print resolution, the manufacturer describes.
Increased robotic speed creates faster disc transport between the input/output bins, CD/DVD drives and printer tray. Discs are also printed faster with Primera's exclusive Afterburner Print Technology (APT). APT uses an all-new print head technology from Lexmark that doubles the width of the print swath, thereby significantly increasing print speed.
Two CD or DVD drives are integrated into every BravoPro Disc Publisher for maximum throughput. The BravoPro CD Publisher integrates high-speed Plextor 52x CD-R drives. The DVD model integrates Pioneer's new DVR-108 drives to record DVD±Rs at 16x and CD-Rs at 32x. Dual Layer DVD+Rs burn at 4x.
BravoPro prints CDs and DVDs direct-to-disc at up to 4800 dpi print resolution. In addition, the print head has the industry's smallest ink droplet size of just three-picoliters. High resolution and small droplet size result in superb graphics and photos and the sharpest text quality.
BravoPro is the only automated duplicator in the industry that comes equipped with CD/DVD burning and printing software that is both Windows and Mac compatible.
For Windows, BravoPro uses PrimoDVD 2.1 duplication software by Sonic. Sonic is the world's leading developer of CD/DVD burning software and supplies. In fact, the same burn engine used in PrimoDVD 2.1 is also utilized in the newest multimedia software from both Microsoft and Adobe. A professional labeling software program called SureThing CD Labeler Primera Edition is also included for graphic design or users can design disc graphics in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW among others.
For Mac, BravoPro uses CharisMac Discribe 5.2 Mastering Software. This award-winning software makes burning and printing on the Mac platform fast and easy, while including many advanced features utilized by video, audio and graphics professionals for high-end disc mastering. Disc layout templates for Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop are also included with the Mac software.
Primera's exclusive, patent-pending AccuDisc Technology provides the most accurate and precise disc picking available today. It utilizes advanced LED optics, instead of mechanical components, to completely eliminate misalignment of the picking mechanism and prevent the feeding of double discs into the recordable drive.
BravoPro attaches to any PC running Windows 2000/XP through its built-in USB 2.0 interface. USB 2.0 provides the highest-quality data transfer rate and is 20% faster than the FireWire interface.
Two BravoPro models are available:
BravoPro CD Publisher with two 52x CD-R recorders is priced at US$3495 (MSRP). BravoPro DVD Publisher with two 16x/32x Pioneer DVD±R/CD-R recorders is priced at US $3,995 (MSRP).
An adapter kit is available to copy and print 80mm round mini-discs, "hockey rink" mini-discs and rectangular business card shaped CDs. The Business Card Adapter Kit is priced at US $229 (MSRP).
Primera's new PTBurn Network Software is also included with every unit. This advanced software allows up to five users to send CD or DVD recording and print jobs to a BravoPro remotely from client PCs. The software runs on virtually any server/client network under Windows 2000/XP. Additional license blocks are available.
