Description
Looking for high throughput testing of CD's, plus a way to qualify your masters? The
new CDX is absolutely the highest performance and lowest cost test system on the market. It consists of a specially modified 40X CD-R/RW writer and software that can perform data verification, format verification, and measure error rates.

The Windows® software can accommodate multiple CDX drives simultaneously, providing spectacular speed! A built-in grading system and pass/fail indicator allows simple operation by novice operators.

Applications
· Incoming Inspection / Quality Control
· CD-R Duplication
· Pre-Mastering
· Media & Writer Qualification
· Archiving

Qualify CD-R Media and Writers
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.

Logical Format Verification
CDX can compare your CD-Rs or replicas to the original source material on hard disk,
CD-ROM, or CD-R. It also checks various aspects of CD-ROM formatting such as:
Record mode, Volume Descriptor, subcode skew, post gap size, and conformance to ISO9660.

Error Rates and Pit Geometry
Looking at the number and severity of CIRC errors provides a good measure of disc
quality. To confirm that the disc will have a high probability of playing on all readers,
we provide an HF output for measuring pit geometry using an oscilloscope. The
operator's manual fully explains how to interpret the data, and make measurements
related to pit geometry such as I11, I3, Asymmetry, and Radial Contrast. A thorough
analysis of disc performance is possible.
