Aleratec Captures Editor's Choice for Scaleable LightScribe DVD/CD Publishing System


CHATSWORTH, Calif., Dec. 4, 2006 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Aleratec, developer and manufacturer of Aleratec Award Winning DVD/CD Duplicating and Publishing Solutions, is very pleased to announce that the "Only from Aleratec" 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro LX has earned EMediaLive's Editor's Choice distinction. The LightScribe-enabled 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro LX can be used as a stand alone 1:1 DVD/CD Duplicator. When connected to a PC via USB 2.0, it becomes a 1:2 DVD/CD Duplicator and a two drive external DVD/CD recorder. With LightScribe technology it can laser burn silkscreen quality labels on 2 discs at once.

In EMediaLive's November 27, 2006 review, Stephen F. Nathans stated, "As a disc-to-disc 1:1 and host-assisted, two drive DVD duplicator, the Copy Cruiser Pro LX gets high marks across the board." Nathans continued, "so if LightScribe printing is the most interesting development in CD/DVD recording in the last couple years, what's its most effective implementation? For my money, it's Aleratec's 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro LX." EMediaLive, the Digital Studio resource, is for digital studio professionals who capture, edit, encode, publish, and stream digital content.

"We consider it an honor to have an Aleratec LightScribe disc publishing solution recognized an effective implementation of LightScribe technology. We have targeted the 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro LX at fulfilling desktop disc publishing needs and it has been applauded by our Prosumer users and now EMediaLive.com," said Perry Solomon, President and CEO. "The 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro LX starts as an advanced stand-alone 1:1 DVD/CD Duplicator. When connected to a PC, it is a 1:2 DVD/CD Duplicator, a two disc LightScribe direct to disc labeler, and a two disc recorder, and without compromising any function. And with the ability to scale up, you can buy only what you need now and double capacity later by just plugging in another 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro LX to your PC."

Since the "Only from Aleratec" Software Suite supports simultaneous use of up to 4 drives, the 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro LX is easily expanded to a desktop publishing system capable of double capacity by simply plugging in another unit to the PC, thereby making available a 1:4 DVD/CD duplicator, a four drive DVD/CD recorder, a four drive direct to disc labeler, and two stand alone duplicators.

LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling offers consumers and businesses a simple, no-hassle way to burn professional-looking, silkscreen-quality labels on their CDs and DVDs. LightScribe extends optical media, recorders and software through an integrated system of media with special laser-sensitive coating, laser control and imaging drive modifications, and labeling software enhancements. LightScribe uses the same laser that burns data in the disc drive to create precise, iridescent labels. With the Aleratec Disc Publishing Software Suite, Aleratec customers can design professional-looking CD and DVD labels with text, logos and images.

"We congratulate Aleratec for receiving EMedia Live's Editor's Choice for their LightScribe-enabled disc publishing system," said Kent Henscheid, Marketing Manager for LightScribe.
