CHATSWORTH, Calif., July 7, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Alera Technologies, developer and manufacturer of Advanced DVD and CD Recording Solutions, unveils its new DVD Copy Tower Dual(tm) family of duplicators 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 based on Dual Standard 8-in-1 DVD- and DVD+ R/RW Technology. This new family supports all popular DVD formats. The DVD Copy Tower Dual(tm) Family of multi-drive, multi-format 4x DVD duplicators offering stand-alone DVD/CD duplication in 3 recorder and 7 recorder tower configurations. The DVD Copy Tower Dual family can write on the fly simultaneously to either three or seven high-speed 4x DVD Dual Technology Recorders without needing a Hard Disk Drive and features a professional duplicator controller that boasts 36 professional functions and diagnostics.

"Alera Technologies continues its success in providing businesses, institutions, and individuals the ability to duplicate increasing numbers of both DVDs and CDs. The advanced DVD Copy Tower family of DVD/CD Duplicators now has the flexibility to be used with any of the popular DVD formats," stated Perry Solomon, President and CEO of Alera Technologies. "With the powerful combination of the new DVD Dual technology, Professional Control features and offering the 1:3 and 1:7 DVD Copy Towers at consumer prices, making them widely available, we continue to give customers exactly what they have been asking for."

More and more business, government and education offices, musicians, record publishers, audio and video professionals, software and game developers, graphic artists, and other private organizations, are looking for a cost-effective means to duplicate DVDs and CDs to distribute to customers, clients, employees, students, organization members, etc. The need to duplicate DVDs and CDs where you have total control of the schedules, quantity and content has been growing since the first CD-Recorders came on the scene. Until now, the equipment with DVD capability has been cumbersome, hard to operate, and very expensive.

The 1:3 DVD Copy Tower Dual (Alera Technologies Part No. 260125, Ingram Micro SKU No. 882927) and 1:7 DVD Copy Tower Dual (Alera Technologies Part No. 260126, Ingram Micro SKU No. 882932) can make up to 3 copies or 7 copies, simultaneously, of a 4.7GB DVD in as few as 15 minutes at 4x DVD recording speed.

The DVD Copy Tower Dual Duplicator controller has a back-lighted display and intuitive menu selection system to satisfy the needs of even the most discerning professional user. Yet an untrained user can make quick, simple, one-touch, copies by just turning the duplicator on, inserting the source and blank DVDs or CDs and selecting "Copy." No set-up is required. You can Prescan your source discs for optimum copy speeds. You can analyze source DVDs and CDs showing disc size and other information that make planning the duplication process easier. You have the power of a special feature, "Edit Track," a unique function that allows you to select audio tracks from several source audio CDs, and copy them to as many CDs as you want to make multiple uncluttered custom compilation discs giving you power beyond just duplicating. Please note, the DVD Copy Towers will not duplicate copy-protected materials such as commercial DVD movies.

The backlighted LCD display reports the % complete and other status elements of each duplicator function. It is important to be able to see this information as the process is taking place. For example, the display indicates when a process will be completed, which is particularly useful in duplicating large numbers of discs.

A very key feature of the Alera Technologies DVD/CD duplicator offering is that products are extensively and broadly available. Not only are the Alera Technologies duplicators thousands of dollars less than competitive offerings, the products are easy to find. The 1:3 DVD Copy Tower Dual has an Estimated Street Price of $1,699 and the 1:7 Copy Tower Dual has an Estimated Street Price of $3,299 and are on retail shelves now as well as available through distribution.
