A breakthrough in cost effective Quality control for DVD

Looking for high throughput testing of DVD’s and CD's, plus a way to qualify your masters? The new DVX™ is absolutely the highest performance and lowest cost test system on the market. It consists of a specially modified DVD±R/RW writer and software that can perform data verification, format verification, and measure error rates at speeds up to 16X (DVD) or 48X (CD). A built-in grading system and pass/fail indicator allow simple operation by novice operators. Analog measurements can be made using the optional Analog Measurement Module, or an oscilloscope. A thorough evaluation of disc quality can be made.

Applications:

Incoming Inspection / 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:

Qualify DVD±R and CD-R Media

The key to duplication 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 Writers

You can identify writers that are failing, or will soon fail, by periodically measuring their results.

Logical Format Verification

DVX™ can compare your DVD's or CD's to the original source material on hard disk, DVD/CD-ROM, or DVD/CD-R. It also checks various aspects of data 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 the AMM-1 accessory or an oscilloscope. 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, Asymmetry, and Radial Contrast. A thorough analysis of disc performance is possible.
