Vinpower Digital Fully Focused on the Advancement in Blu-ray Duplication through its BD-R Stress Tester
The Vinpower BD-R Stress tester allows BD-R manufacturers to test the quality and durability of their line of recordable Blu-ray discs.
Los Angeles, CA — January 24, 2011 — Vinpower Digital, a seminal beta tester for both optical disc recordable drive and media manufactures for years, has recently released their recordable Blu-ray media Stress Tester. Vinpower had been using the Stress Tester internally on various optical disc formats for years and only recently made the product available to media manufacturers for their own internal use. After a successful adoption by many leading media manufacturers, Vinpower has decided to make this offering public for the first time.
The Stress Tester provides a real world environment for testing the duplication quality of optical disc media. In essence, the duplication environment, which involves multiple writer drives burning content onto optical discs, either simultaneously or asynchronously, via a single control device, is much harsher and far more demanding as compared to burning 1 disc at a time through a single writer drive connected to a computer. This product allows the user to test BD-R media through multiple brands of Blu-ray writers simultaneously. Upon completion, the Stress Tester will identify whether the media passed or failed. If the media passed, then it can be certified as duplication grade media. If the media failed, the unit will provide a computer read out that will help identify how and where those problems occurred.
“With the intricate balance between all the writer drives to maintain the desired duplication speed while accurately transferring the content from a master source onto recordable media, is very demanding on the optical media. So unless you are able to reproduce these extreme situations with recordable media, there is no guarantee that media can hold up”, declares VP of Marketing and Sales at Vinpower Digital, Ryan Swerdloff.
Beyond its intended uses for media manufacturers, the Stress Tester can also be utilized by any company or individual who needs to make BD-R copies and doesn’t want to leave the quality of the duplicated discs to chance.
