"Alera Technologies continues its success in providing

numbers of both DVDs and CDs. The advanced DVD Copy Tower family of DVD/CD
Duplicators now has the flexibility to be used with any of the popular DVD

"With the
powerful combination of the new DVD Dual technology, Professional
Control features and offering the 1:3 and 1:7 DVD Copy Towers at consumer
prices, making them widely available, we continue to give customers exactly what
they have been asking for."
More and more business, government and
education offices, musicians, record publishers, audio and video professionals,
software and game developers, graphic artists, and other private organizations,
are looking for a cost effective means to duplicate DVDs and CDs to distribute
to customers, clients, employees, students, organization members, etc. The need
to duplicate DVDs and CDs where you have total control of the schedules,
quantity and content has been growing since the first CD-Recorders came on the
scene. Until now, the equipment with DVD capability has been cumbersome,
hard to operate, and very expensive.
The 1:3 DVD Copy Tower Dual (Alera
Technologies Part # 260125, Ingram Micro SKU # 882927) and 1:7 DVD Copy Tower
Dual (Alera Technologies Part # 260126, Ingram Micro SKU # 882932) can make up
to 3 copies or 7 copies, simultaneously, of a 4.7GB DVD in as few as 15 minutes
at 4x DVD recording speed.
The DVD Copy Tower Dual Duplicator controller
has a back lighted display and intuitive menu selection system to satisfy the
needs of even the most discerning professional user. Yet an untrained user
can make quick, simple, one touch, copies by just turning the duplicator on,
inserting the source and blank DVDs or CDs and selecting "Copy". No set up
is required. You can Prescan your source discs for optimum copy
speeds. You can analyze source DVDs and CDs showing disc size and other
information that make planning the duplication process easier. You have
the power of a special feature, "Edit Track", a unique function that allows you
to select audio tracks from several source audio CDs, and copy them to as many
CDs as you want to make multiple uncluttered custom compilation discs giving you
power beyond just duplicating. Please note, the DVD Copy Towers will not
duplicate copy protected materials such as commercial DVD
movies.
The back lighted LCD display reports the % complete and other
status elements of each duplicator function. It is important to be able to
see this information as the process is taking place. For example, the
display indicates when a process will be completed which is particularly useful
in duplicating large numbers of discs.
A very key feature of the Alera
Technologies DVD/CD duplicator offering is that products are extensively and
broadly available. Not only are the Alera Technologies duplicators
thousands of dollars less than competitive offerings, the products are easy to
find. The 1:3 DVD Copy Tower Dual has an Estimated Street Price of $
1,699 and the 1:7 Copy Tower Dual has an Estimated Street Price of $ 3,299
and are on retail shelves now as well as available through
distribution.
