Accessory for CDX & DVX

The secret to making reliable discs is looking at the “pit geometry”. The ability of the player to play the disc is wholly dependent on the size and shape of the pits. Poor pit geometry is the cause of discs that are unreliable, or play in one drive but not another. DVX provides a means of making these measurements, and the AMM-1 automates this process. It is faster, easier and more accurate than using an oscilloscope. Results are displayed as charts, as well as in the summary. Operation is completely automatic, enabling operation by novice operators.

Applications:

• Incoming Inspection and Quality Control
• CD_R Duplication
• Pre-Mastering
• Media & Writer Qualification
• Archiving

Key Benefits:

You can save money and avoid headaches by being able to evaluate disc quality:
Software publishers, distributors, and duplicators all need to verify the quality of their product to maximize customer satisfaction and avoid problems. If you are duplicating discs, you are now the manufacturer, and therefore responsible for quality control. Don’t risk your reputation on product of unknown quality!

Qualify CD-R Media:
The key to CD-R success is compatibility between the writer and the media. You can find out which type of media works best with your writer by using this tool. This allows you to optimize disc quality and avoid problems. Media quality varies with each batch. You can discover bad batches before you've wasted your time and money.

Measure Performance of CD-R Writers:
You can identify writers that are failing, or will soon fail, by periodically measuring their results.

Reliability and Interchangability:
To confirm that the disc will have a high probability of playing on all readers, DVX provides an HF output for measuring pit geometry. The player’s abililty to play the disc is wholly dependent on the size and shape of the pits (“pit geometry”). Discs with poor pit geometry will behave erratically, and may play in some drives, but not others.

Error Rates and Pit Geometry
Looking at the number and severity of CIRC errors provides a good measure of disc quality, but to confirm that the disc will have a high probability of playing on all readers, you must also measure the "pit geometry". AMM-1, in combination with DVX, allows you to automatically make analog measurements related to pit geometry. The operator's manual fully explains how to interpret the data, and make measurements related to pit geometry such as I11/Itop, I3/Itop, Modulation (I14/I14H), Resolution (I3/I14), Beta, and Asymmetry. A thorough analysis of disc performance is possible.
