There are many companies using DVD/CD towers big and small. Schools, collegues and universities use them. They can be used for small or large runs of DVD/CD duplication. These towers are now one of the most important pieces of kit for companies.
Below are a few reasons whey the DVD/CD tower is so importand and popular with today’s videographer/film maker/musician or eductional body.
1) They can duplicate any amount of dics
2) Any disc can be duplicated as long as its not copy protected.
3) The tower can be used on a network
4) It can write a CD 52 x and DVD 16x speed.
5) The tower can be a standalone unit.
6) The tower can be connected to a single designated computer.
7) You can store data on the internal hard drive (if the unit you have purchased has one)
8) you can also fly dup. (put a disc in the rom drive and duplicate direct from that disc onto your blank media).
There are many more features to having a tower…. Many companies also use the towers for backup copies of their databases or finances.
There are a few disadvantages of using a tower (not many and we can only think of one)
1) Labour intensive
That is about it, if you are looking for an affordable way to copy discs this is it. There are automotive towers and also combi tower and printer units. These units cost a lot more money to purchase than the stand alone units, the advantages of a combi unit is that you can put your disc on and walk away, come back later and they will all be done for you. The combi units also print the disc. The quality of the print is very good as long as the original files used are no less than 300dpi (dots per inch). Combi units come in different sizes with different capacities of disc’s they will hold.
