CHATSWORTH, Calif., Nov. 21, 2005 -- Alera Technologies,
Inc., developer and manufacturer of Aleratec advanced USB, DVD/CD
duplicating, recording, and digital imaging solutions announced today
another industry first, the 1:4 DVD/CD Tower Publisher LS(tm), only
from Aleratec. The Publishing Tower supports up to 4 simultaneous
DVD/CD Copies, Recordings, or produces up to 4 Silk Screen Quality
LightScribe labeled discs. The 1:4 DVD/CD Tower Publisher LS is a
DVD/CD duplicator with LightScribe technology that simultaneously Laser
burns custom labels directly on DVD/CD discs making it the first
LightScribe desktop production disc publishing system. You can create
your own custom labels, with text and graphics, using the unique
Aleratec Disc Publishing Software Suite, powered by Droppix, included
FREE! with purchase.
"Detailed observation of the Prosumer disc publishing scenario, makes
us certain we have developed a breakthrough solution that fills a large
void between expensive and cumbersome robotic equipment and writing on
the back of discs with a marker. Putting this in perspective, the
potential for the 1:4 DVD/CD Tower Publisher LS is awesome," stated
Perry Solomon, President and CEO. "The 1:4 DVD/CD Tower Publisher LS
with the Aleratec Disc Publishing Software Suite developed by Droppix,
can duplicate 4 discs simultaneously or label 4 discs simultaneously, a
significant advancement in the application of LightScribe Technology,
and it's only from Aleratec. Per disc production time is dramatically
reduced and there is no printer required, eliminating the need for far
more expensive robotic systems. You can even mix copying discs and
burning labels at the same time which makes it perfect for one off jobs
where the content and the label of each disc is different."
LightScribe technology is an integrated system that combines
LightScribe enabled DVD/CD recorders with specially coated media and
the powerful Aleratec Disc Publishing Software Suite powered by
Droppix, to produce precise, laser-etched, silkscreen quality labels
with superior sharpness and clarity.
The Droppix powered Aleratec Disc Publishing Software Suite, includes:
the special Aleratec Droppix Label Maker, which produces up to 4
simultaneous LightScribe Disc Labels, right from your desktop, no
printer required, and it's only from Aleratec; Droppix Recorder for
Towers, which produces up to 4 simultaneous disc copies, recordings or
creations and Droppix Management Console, which monitors your
publishing process.
"Sharing the vision of an elegant and simple DVD/CD publishing solution
for users with no alternative other than complex robots and printers,
we are proud to have developed the special multiple recorder version of
Droppix Label Maker exclusively for Aleratec," stated Robert Juzyna,
President and CEO of Droppix SARL. "We believe the unique 1:4 DVD/CD
Tower Publisher LS is an excellent example of the perfect fit between
LightScribe-enabled Droppix Software and Aleratec DVD/CD recording and
duplicating technology."
The 1:4 DVD/CD Tower Publisher LS (Aleratec Part No. 260150, Ingram
Micro SKU No. H71760), is the only LightScribe DVD/CD Production
Publisher and it is powered by Droppix. The 1:4 DVD/CD Tower Publisher
LS is a remarkable value, with a low Estimated Street Price of $999 The
low ESP of $999 makes the 1:4 DVD/CD Tower Publisher LS the lowest
total cost of ownership of the disc publishing systems making it ideal
for Prosumer, Corporate, Government and Education applications. Until
now the equipment available to copy discs and label them required
making a substantial investment in a machine that is only by a stretch
of the imagination "desktop". More than one person is required to move
some of these machines so to get copies you have to go to the machine
rather than having the machine at your desk where the work is. The 1:4
DVD/CD Tower Publisher LS, is a package that is truly desktop with only
a 7 x 15 inch footprint and weighing about 20 pounds.
