CHATSWORTH, Calif., Jan. 3, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Alera Technologies, developer and manufacturer of Aleratec Advanced DVD and CD Recording Solutions announced today its advanced new CD Digital Photo Copy Station(tm) that copies digital photos directly to CD from camera memory cards, without a computer, and does much more. The new CD Digital Photo Copy Station is also a stand alone 1:1 CD duplicator as well as a USB 2.0 external CD recorder that records CDs from Windows or Macintosh and an external memory card reader for use with your computer. This is an enhanced version of the Award Winning CD Copy Cruiser(tm) that has become the standard for performance, ease of use, and reliability in desktop CD duplicators.
"The all new CD Digital Photo Copy Station has a plethora of features that satisfy a wide range of needs from the Photography Professional to the home user. Its advanced technology combines four important functions which typically require four different hardware platforms into one technically impressive and attractive compact desktop unit that outclasses all other CD recorders, duplicators or memory card readers," stated Perry Solomon, President and CEO of Alera Technologies. "For anyone who has the need to backup photo memory cards, duplicate and record CDs, we believe the CD Digital Photo Copy Station will successfully exceed the expectations of the Professional, Prosumer, and home users with one product and it is available only from Alera Technologies."
Even with the breakthrough advances in utility, the new CD Digital Photo Copy Station (Aleratec Part # 310105, Ingram Micro SKU# E93962) has a low Estimated Street Price (ESP) of only $299. With its distinctive 'Professional Black' look, highlighted with a 'cool blue' light bar, we are confident the CD Digital Photo Copy Station will appeal to Prosumer, Corporate, Government and Education users. Now all can enjoy the most convenient and affordable way to store and share digital photos, create and duplicate CDs. Each package contains a Software Suite, a USB cable, and Users Guide.
Photos from your memory cards can be copied to CD in multi-session format so the entire 700MB storage capacity of the CD can be used. The Digital Photo Copy Cruiser supports the following Digital Memory Card formats: CF Type I and II, SD, MMC, SM, MS, MS Pro, and Micro Drive. It even has a function that tells you the total capacity of your card and the capacity used.
The CD Digital Photo Copy Station's integrated CD Duplicator includes professional copy control features normally available only on much more expensive systems. The Copy function lets you select the copy speeds in increments up to 52x. Test Copy Disc tests the copy process before copying starts without burning a CD. Edit Track lets you select Audio Tracks from several source CDs to make a custom discs for uncluttered listening enjoyment. This cool feature is packed with hidden benefits.
