Reflex - High Speed DVD Duplication

DISC MAKERS INTRODUCES THE REFLEX DAISY CHAIN – CONTROL 100s OF DUPLICATION TOWERS WITH A SINGLE SOURCE
Scalable, high-speed DVD/CD Duplicators provide music studios, video production houses, and archival departments with added flexibility for projects of all sizes

PENNSAUKEN, NJ – February 10, 2008 – Disc Makers, the nation’s leading manufacturer of CD and DVD duplicators and printers, is proud to introduce the new Reflex Daisy Chain Series of duplicators. The Reflex Daisy Chain Series offers all the capabilities and quality of the standard Reflex series with the added ability to connect up to hundreds of towers together – all operated by a single source.

Reflex towers integrate industrial-grade DVD/CD burner drives – built for the most demanding production environments, and each includes a beefy 320GB hard drive that stores up to 63 full size DVD images. The 7-drive units have a throughput of 56 DVDs or 105 CDs per hour, while the 10-drive units can turn out 80 DVDs or 150 CDs per hour. The Daisy Chain Series allows users to mix 7- and 10-drive models, and because the duplicators are not drive dependent, users can add additional units when the need arises.

“A 10-drive duplicator may meet you needs today, but what about a year from now, or even five years from now?“, asks Tony van Veen, President of Disc Makers. “This is an affordable solution for businesses to continually increase their duplication throughput, and the daisy chain technology eliminates the need to add additional staff to man the added duplicators.”

Another key advantage of the Reflex Daisy Chain Series is the flexibility to quickly configure the duplicators to work together or independently dependant upon project needs. For example, ten Reflex 10 Daisy Chain towers could be used for 10 independent jobs of 100, or configured to do one large run of 1000. The flexibility created in just a few key strokes is a powerful time saving tool.

Regardless of job type, whether used on their own or connected, all Reflex Daisy Chain Series units are completely standalone and provide exact digital copies of your CD and DVD master discs.

Nokia 6600 Slide – A phone for the N-maniac

Nokia has found a way to churn money in these difficult times. They roll out new models every now and then to get going. And the latest model, the Nokia 6600 Slide is one among the new releases. Nokia 6600 which was launched wayback in 2003 had been a sell out for its rich features and now, it's successor Nokia 6600 Slide is similarly packed with some great features - but it also has some drawbacks of its own.


Being a Series 40 handset like 6600 Fold, it lacks the charisma of the N96 or 95 for that sake. The Slide version of 6600 fits lot of features into its steel casing. It has a really good 3.2 MP camera and a very high resolution screen. The camera’s auto-focus improves the image quality. Nokia has been very consistent with camera technology ever since the 6600 model was released way back in 2003.

For the music junkies, you can store songs 4GB. The phone playsMP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+ and WMA formats. Also, like most of the set it includes an FM Radio with a twist. It has a stereo FM radio with RDS. But another rich feature is its Quad-Band. Yes! N6600 Slide is a quad band phone with dual band for 3G like many high end Nokia phones. The OS is of 40 series which adds some speediness and responsiveness to the model. There is no need to wait to go to the Gallery or to get the contact list.

But there still are many a complaint on the aluminum direction pads which has created a lot of problems for the user. Pushing it up, down, right, or left is not a problem. Confirming their selection poses the problem.

Overall, the phone with its rich feature can be ranked : 4/5
