CD DVD copiers or CD DVD duplicators copy DVDs from an original master CD. Copies are made onto previously empty DVDs, called blanks. DVD copiers can be PC attached, or they may be standalone.
PC attached DVD copiers can be connected to a computer. This helps in customizing the DVD such as providing a title, author’s name, date, etc. Graphic programs can also be used to enhance the visuals and to create special effects. DVD copiers have a hard disc or a memory card of their own, which makes it much possible to copy the CD even when the master CD is unavailable. The hard disc has a higher memory capacity-as much as 160 GB.
DVD copiers can be manual or operated. In manual DVD copiers, an operator is necessary to physically open the shutter of the copier machine and keep loading and unloading the DVDs as they are copied. They have low speeds and their output per hour is less.
Standalone DVD copiers are automated. They are operated by a robotic arm, which loads and unloads DVDs. They are designed in a tower format. One standalone copier is actually a combination of several unitary DVD copiers-as many as one to 16. Industrial DVD copiers can have as many as 60 individual copier units. The number of copiers indicates how many DVDs can be copied at a time. Their copying speeds are generally 16 times for DVDs. For copying CDs, the speed can be as high as 48 times.
Some DVD copiers need a cooling period after each run. This reduces the quantity of the output. However, newer DVD duplicators are working on reducing, or even eliminating, the cooling period so that the process can be continuous.
The quality of a copied DVD depends on the quality of the copier itself. If the copier is of a poor quality, then the copied DVD may have a grainy, washed effect and also garbled sounds. Good quality DVD copiers can give an almost perfect replica of the original.
Automated DVD copiers can cost from $1000 to $4000, depending on how many individual copiers they contain. They are mostly designed in black, white or gray and are designed in a tower format.
