SharkCopier LightScribe 20X DVD±R/W Professional combination tower duplicators. In a collaborative effort between Vinpower Digital and LightScribe, the new SharkCopier LightScribe model is the industry's first complete LightScribe standalone DVD and CD Publishing System. LightScribe was invented by Hewlett Packard (HP) as a laser labeling technology to burn images onto compatible optical discs through licensed drives. The new SharkCopier LightScribe models offer an array of improved features, most notably the ability to inscribe text or full graphic labels directly onto CDs and DVDs without being connected to a computer. The SharkCopier LightScribe is the most productive, reliable, and cost effective LightScribe publishing system on the market.

Using LightScribe capable discs, the SharkCopier LightScribe duplicator can burn the labels onto all the discs in the drives at the same time. Here's how: create your LightScribe design using the provided LightScribe design software, burn the design onto a cd-r, then load the cd-r design disc into the SharkCopier LightScribe duplicator's hard drive.

Recorder:

Asus 2014L1T: 20x DVD-R, 20x DVD+R, 8X Double Layer DVD+R, 8X Dual Layer DVD-R and 48x CD-R recording speeds.

The SharkCopier LightScribe tower duplicator provides true 20x DVD+R and 20x DVD-R duplication speeds (see specs above). Full functioning, standalone tower will duplicate the DVD master disc (master must not be copyright protected) into your preferred format (DVD-R/RW or DVD+R/RW) or Double/Dual Layer. The standard in home video production is moving toward Double/Dual Layer DVD9 format, so don't get left behind. You can duplicate up to 8.5GB of data/video on one disc with Double/Dual Layer DVD9 technology. You can increase the amount of data/video stored without decreasing quality or sacrificing ability, and still have the ability to duplicate single layer DVD5 media.

The SharkCopier LightScribe duplicators also feature industry leading 128MB buffer memory (upgradeable to 256MB buffer memory on 10-Target and larger models) to ensure stable high speed duplication. And, the duplicators are very user friendly. There are numerous convenient features such as a Duplication Counter, HDD Image Name Editing, and many more listed in the Features section below.

Includes a DVD-ROM source reader for easy operation.

Includes a 160GB Hard Drive. Minimize disk access time for burning multiple disks. Features “DHP Technology”, which creates a hard drive partition to the size of each master disc image so no hard drive space is wasted. Save multiple disks to retrieve and burn at a later time without the original disk. Ensures stable, error-free operation with HDD-to-DVD duplication. Direct DVD-to-DVD duplication is also supported. Hard drive upgrades are available: 250GB, 320GB and 500GB.

Improved Load and Copy: Improved "Load and Copy" to make duplication from hard drive faster than ever by simultaneously copying the blank media while loading to the hard drive.

Why are these the best duplicators around? Glad you asked...

Drives: It may appear that all drives are the same as they are all outsourced from Pioneer, Plextor, Sony, etc. However, because of Vinpower Digital's relationship with the manufacturers, they can order drives that match their needs. The manufactures still get approx. 90% of their drive orders for computers, which may differ in needs as compared to duplicators. Often there may be a difference in burn speed between two different drives. For instance, if you are burning a 4.7GB DVD-R at 8x speed and there’s a 5 second differential between the fastest and slowest burners, it will amount to a 40MB difference between the data flow. With any components that work in conjunction with others, they can only work as fast as their slowest part. If one burner is slower than the others, it can slow the entire process. Vinpower Digital is able to modify their drives to burn at the same speed all the time, to assure higher quality and true maximum burn speed.

Controllers: Vinpower Digital manufactures their own controller. The most common controller used in other duplicators is the A-Card controller, which is manufactured to work the same for everyone. With an A-card controller, the focus is more on uniformity to work with a broad range of drivers. Since Vinpower Digital does not sell their controllers separately, they can create a controller that focuses on a more optimal operation with specific drivers. They can design their controllers to better meet your needs for both performance and aesthetics. In fact, if you took two identical duplicators with the only variables being the controllers (an A-card in one and Vinpower Digital's calibrated for the exact driver in the other), Vinpower Digital's controller will produce a better PIPO number every time (scale for measuring disc quality). Vinpower Digital can calibrate their controllers to optimize any drivers/burners on the market. In addition to compatibility, they make a more powerful controller that ensures proper function and more reliability. The added power allows their controller to perform all the same functions as the A-card, but offers more options. Their controllers come standard with a 128MB memory buffer, as well as partition naming, password protection, screen savers, and more.

Power Supply: The power supply for most electric devices requires 1 microchip per every 80W of power. Most companies provide the minimum requirement. If one of the chips fails, the entire unit is rendered useless as it cannot handle the power supply. Vinpower Digital always over specs their machines to include more capacity than the minimum requirements, to eliminate power failures. Their machines have 30% to 40% more capacity. If one of the chips fails, there will not be a disruption. Most manufactures use the Mapower case. Vinpower Digital used Mapower in the past, and with that particular case, they found an almost 20% return rate due to power supply issues within the one year warranty. Since Vinpower Digital has switched to their own design, the return rate due to power supply issues has been lowered to 0.1%. That’s a dramatic difference, which increases customer satisfaction due to fewer issues with the duplicators.

Case: Vinpower Digital designed their own chassis that not only has a more attractive design, but is far more functional. Because they are made of aluminum, they are lighter, yet sturdier, than steel cases. The SharkCopier is specially designed with a special "gill" venting system on each side of the case to allow the air flow into the machine without passing through the drive face. This eliminates approximately 80% of harmful dust from entering into the drive itself and landing on the laser head. To further prevent dust from entering the drives, the SharkCopier is equipped with exterior drive door covers to block harmful dust particles. These drive covers keep the dust out and provide an attractive uniform look for the duplicator itself. In addition, since the case is made out of aluminum, it gets rid of the harmful heat up to 3 times faster than a standard steel case. By dramatically decreasing the amount of heat and dust from disrupting the capabilities of the drives, the SharkCopier can extend the life of the drives by 20% - 30%. The fans built inside a SharkCopier use a ball bearing system, instead of the cheaper plastic solid fans used by many other duplicators, to ensure stable and continuous ventilation. Case available in silver or black.
