DVD duplicators are used to make multiple copies of videos, software, or plain data in DVD format. They usually consist of DVD racks or drives for holding the blank discs, and a separate drive that holds the original or master disc. The master copy may be a DVD or some other format, although analog sources usually have to be digitized before copying. Most DVD duplicators also work on older disc types, such as recordable and rewritable CDs.
Tower DVD Duplicators have two to seven copy drives arranged vertically, resembling a CPU tower. They copy directly from the master disc without connecting to a computer. Some models come with an optional FireWire or USB connection for mastering single drives on a computer.
Automated DVD Duplicators mechanically load and feed discs without requiring manual intervention. High-end models can also label and pack DVDs unsupervised. They are ideal for companies that produce copies on non-working hours, as it helps save on wage expenses.
PC-Connect DVD Duplicators have to be connected to a computer for mastering. Most models connect via USB, FireWire, or both. They usually have an autoloader function, which can load up to 10,000 discs automatically.
Serialization: If you are copying DVDs for commercial use, choose a DVD duplicator with a serializing function. This feature assigns a unique serial number to each copy, reducing the risk of piracy and allowing you to track each copy.
Copy speed: Choose a DVD duplicator with a fast copy speed to save on time and operation costs. Labeling and packaging functions take longer, so choose these features only if you need them.
