CD Duplicating Systems


Why pay someone to duplicate your CD's when you can do it yourself? . . .


Vimar offers the Cygnet Replicator RP-50, a compact desktop device that allows the user to make multiple copies of CD-ROMs in a fast and efficient manner. The Replicator operates in two modes: as a stand-alone, self-sustaining unit which can read and write data or media images from a master disc onto its image drive before duplication; and as a unit which works in conjunction with a host computer to receive, store, and duplicate the master image file. The Replicator consists of an auto-loading mechanism, a CD-Recordable drive, an image drive and a controller. The copying process is initiated by the user through the LCD interface display located on the control panel at the front of the unit console, or through the host computer. Once the copying process has been initiated, the Replicator unit can be left to run unattended while up to 50 Compact Discs are duplicated. Once the discs are completed and verified by the CD-Recordable drive, they are accepted and stored in a hopper at the front of the unit for easy access and retrieval.
