Octave intros new robotic duplicators

Post, Sept, 2005

CAMPBELL, CA -- Octave Systems (www.octave.com) is now shipping a new line of Copy Master II Pro Robotic DVD/CD duplicators, allowing users to quickly copy large volumes of DVDs or CDs. The line includes three new models, all with built-in, high-quality Plextor PX-716A optical recorders.

A PC is not required to operate the Pro Robotic line. A 4.7GB DVD can be copied at up to 16x, while 8.5GB dual-layered DVDs can be copied at 6x. CDs can be copied at up to 48x. The Copy Master II Pro Robotic auto loading arm allows users to set up a duplication job and walk away. The new line of autoloaders features an easy-to-read LCD display and a 160GB hard drive. Configurations include four, six or seven optical recorders.

All three models can quickly duplicate up to 1,000 DVDs or CDs in one continuous sitting without monitoring. The seven-drive Copy Master II can produce seven full 4.7GB DVDs in seven minutes. Seven full CDs can be produced in three minutes.

A new feature of the autoloader is Multi-Master Recognition Technology (MMRT), which allows the user to set up and execute multiple duplication jobs without interruption. Traditional autoloaders only process one job per run and require the user to load additional jobs. Additional features include password protection, hard disk drive partition naming, multiple language displays, the ability to upgrade to future drive technology, and an auto counter that keeps running totals of successful copies.

Pricing starts at $3,600 for a four-drive duplicator, $4,600 for a six-drive and $5,100 for a seven-drive robotic duplicator.
