CHATSWORTH, Calif., Feb. 25, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Aleratec Inc., leading developer and manufacturer of "Prosumers' Choice" solutions for the USB, Flash, HDD, Blu-ray, DVD/CD, duplicating, and DVD/CD publishing markets, introduces its innovative new DVD/CD RoboRacer LS, the simplest ever robotic autoloading disc publisher. For improved reliability, the Aleratec DVD/CD RoboRacer LS has fewer moving parts than any other robotic publisher. Yet, it is capable of unattended direct to disc LightScribe labeling and unattended disc duplication. Customers just connect it to a PC, load it with up to 100 blank LightScribe discs, use the powerful Aleratec Disc Publishing Software Suite included with purchase to select the disc image or label and start duplicating or labeling up to 100 discs automatically.
"The DVD/CD RoboRacer LS has a small footprint, is very lightweight, and yet has up to 100 disc capacity and the fastest automatic operation available. Fast, serious disc capacity and compact describe it perfectly. With so few moving parts, it takes only 3 seconds after the DVD/CD RoboRacer finished a disc to load a new one. And the best news is the DVD/CD RoboRacer LS is the most affordable 100 disc publishing system on the market today," stated Perry Solomon, Aleratec President and CEO.
The Aleratec DVD/CD RoboRacer LS is an integrated system that combines LightScribe enabled DVD/CD recorders with specially coated LightScribe compliant media and the powerful Aleratec Disc Publishing Software Suite to produce precise, laser-etched, silkscreen quality labels with superior sharpness and clarity. LightScribe creates professional-looking CD and DVD labels right in the drive -- no messy markers or additional printing supplies required. Customers automatically burn data on as many discs as are needed, flip the discs over and burn customized labels. Small and medium businesses can burn a few discs or many and complement each with descriptive titles, content lists, graphics or company logos on their labels.
"The advanced features and new level of affordability of Aleratec's next generation LightScribe disc publisher are a breakthrough in automated disc publishing," said Kent Henscheid, LightScribe Marketing Manager. "Aleratec has successfully incorporated LightScribe's in-drive direct to disc labeling technology in a cost effective automated package, an ideal solution for workgroups and small business."
The low Estimated Retail Price of $839 for the DVD/CD RoboRacer LS (Aleratec Part # 280110, Ingram Micro SKU Q41357) makes it the practical and affordable solution for anyone that needs to duplicate and professionally label large numbers of DVDs and CDs whether for business, education, government, house of worship or individuals.
