Vinpower Digital SharkCopier LightScribe SATA DVD/CD Tower 20x Optical disc duplicator Black

SharkCopier™ LightScribe SATA DVD/CD Tower Duplicator 20x, 1 to 5 In a collaborative effort between Vinpower Digital and LightScribe, the new SharkCopier LS model is the Industry's First Complete LightScribe Standalone Blu-ray, DVD and CD Publishing System. LightScribe was invented by Hewlett Packard (HP) as a laser labeling technology to burn images onto compatible optical discs through licensed drives. The new SharkCopier LS models offer an array of improved features, most notably the ability to inscribe text or full graphic labels directly onto LightScribe CD, DVD and Blu-ray discs without being connected to a computer. The SharkCopier LS is the most productive, reliable, and cost effective LightScribe publishing system on the market.

Vinpower Digital has developed the first true standalone duplicator which can offer embedded copy protection. The unique Copy Protection Software (CPS) can embed a proprietary copy protection encryption into any DVD video master through a PC which can then be transferred onto the Vinpower Digital duplicator to produce as many copy protected reproductions as the user needs. Since CPS is software based as apposed to hardware based, there are no issues with compatibility with players like similar models on the market. In addition, CPS protects against both duplication and ripping for a double dose of protection whereas similar applications from competitors cannot block ripping.

In today’s savvy hi-tech world, consumers are often purchasing a single video and making copies for their friends which limit the overall sales. If you worked hard and put in a lot of effort and expense into creating your video project, you shouldn’t be restricted in the number of units you can sell because you can’t afford the high price of replicated copy protection. Instead by using Vinpower Digital’s CPS, you can feel secure at a fraction of the expense and time with no minimum or maximum quantities required.

How Copy Protection Works:
1. Load the supplied CPS software onto a suitable PC.
2. Plug in the CPS USB dongle with activated licenses into your PC’s USB socket.
3. Take your DVD video master disc or file and by utilizing the special CPS application, follow the steps to embed the copy protection onto the master content.
4. Transfer the new copy protected master content from the PC onto an enabled duplicator via USB/Copy Connect or LAN/Network connectivity
5. Load blank DVD recordable discs into the duplicator’s writer drive(s) then locate the transferred file through the duplicator’s menu keys from the internal hard drive
6. Initiate the copy process and when the finished discs all successfully copy, these discs will have the copy protection already embedded.

Key Features
