CHATSWORTH, Calif., June 30, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Alera Technologies, developer and manufacturer of Advanced DVD and CD Recording Solutions, unveils its new DVD Copy Cruiser Dual(tm) that solves the DVD format dilemma. Now customers will be able to use DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW and CD-ROM discs all with one product. Introducing the new family of Alera Technologies DVD Duplicators and Recorders based on Dual Standard 8-in-1 DVD- and DVD+ R/RW Technology. This new family supports all popular DVD formats.
This exciting new product is both a Stand Alone DVD/CD Duplicator and an External USB 2.0 DVD/CD Recorder, all in one unit. The DVD Copy Cruiser Dual is a desktop, one to one DVD/CD duplicator based on DVD Dual technology that can record either -R or +R formats with 4x DVD recording speed and a USB 2.0 connection to use the 4x DVD Recorder for creating DVDs with the powerful software suite included. The DVD Copy Cruiser Dual includes, all in one unit, a duplicator controller, a DVD-ROM and 4x Dual DVD Recorder that can duplicate a 4.7GB DVD in about 15 minutes or that can be connected to a PC through its USB 2.0 port. It can duplicate both DVDs and CDs, and in its stand alone mode, it will also copy individual tracks from your music CDs creating "Favorite Hits" discs for your uncluttered listening pleasure.
"We have anxiously awaited the time when we could offer a DVD duplicator that can use all popular DVD media types. The DVD Copy Cruiser Dual is an integrated DVD/CD duplicating and recording system, with the advanced features that have made our 1:1 DVD Duplicators successful, including 4x DVD duplication speed and the tools to create DVDs on your PC," stated Perry Solomon, President and CEO of Alera Technologies. "The DVD Copy Cruiser Dual answers Professional and Prosumer demands for performance, control features, USB connectivity with powerful software tools, and now DVD Format flexibility."
The DVD Copy Cruiser Dual (Alera Technologies Part No. 260124, Ingram Micro SKU No. 882926) has a low Estimated Street Price (ESP) of only $749 so that Prosumer, Corporate, Government and Education users all can enjoy an integrated tool for creating and duplicating both DVDs and CDs.
The DVD Copy Cruiser Dual is two systems in one. Not only is it a powerful stand alone DVD and CD duplicator, but it is equipped with a USB 2.0 connection so that you can connect its state-of-the-art 4x DVD Recorder to your computer, load the powerful software included, and create your own custom DVDs in either DVD-R/RW or DVD+R/RW format. Ulead DVD MovieFactory, Ahead Nero Express and Vision Express, Music Match Jukebox and a World Class DVD Player are included. Please note, the DVD Copy Cruiser Dual will not duplicate copy-protected materials such as commercial DVD movies.
The advanced features of the DVD Copy Cruiser Dual make it the right choice for your computer room, entertainment center and your office or business. Its distinctive "Professional Black" look fits anywhere and is available only from Alera Technologies.
Even though the DVD Copy Cruiser Dual is easy to use, it includes professional copy control features normally available only on much more expensive systems. The Copy function lets you select the copy speeds in increments. Test Copy Disc tests the copy process before copying starts without burning a DVD or CD. Edit Track lets you select Audio Tracks from several source audio CDs to make custom discs for uncluttered listening enjoyment. This cool feature is packed with hidden benefits. For example, it lets you listen to the audio tracks you have selected. You know exactly what you are recording without guessing or having to note and refer to music titles, etc. The DVD Copy Cruiser Dual has Quick Erase and Full Erase for erasing DVD/CD-RW discs and it has a Music Player that plays music to speakers (not included) connected to the rear audio terminals or the earphone jack of the DVD-ROM drive.
