XI. Introduction to Duplication Mode
In order to achieve 8x or higher duplication performance;
there are 3 factors that need to be certified as 8x or higher
speed:
1. Master Disc Reading Speed
2. Computer Controlling Speed
3. Recorder Writing Speed*
4. Blank Media Speed
*The recordable media must be certified 8x or higher
in order to have 8x or higher recorder writing speed.
If any or all of the above 4 factors fail to meet the 8x or up
higher certification, under any circumstances, you will
encounter bottleneck symptoms which will delay your
duplication time and reduce your duplication quality.
When making duplications directly from the master disc to
the blank disc; you often cannot maintain true 8x speed
throughout the duplication process. Unfortunately, due to
physical recordable DVD limitations, most DVD master
discs cannot be read at 8x or higher speeds continuously.
Often the reader will fall behind the burners and the whole
process will have to slow down.
In order to help this issue, first load the master disc into
the hard drive and make all duplications through the hard
drive. To duplicate form the Hard Drive, you need to load
your DVD master disc into a Hard Drive partition. Once
loaded, make copies from the Hard Drive partition as you
would from the master disc. This process can be a little
complicated and requires certain knowledge of the
duplicator in order to operate.

To simplify this process for anyone, we introduced a new
feature called “Load and Copy“ under the new category
“Duplication Mode“. This feature reduces the
“Duplication from Hard Drive“ process to a single step!
There are two features under “Duplication modes“:
On the Fly:
This mode instructs the duplicator to copy directly
from the master disc. The duplicator performs
simultaneous read and write operations without
any delays.
Advantage:
- Ideal for small quantity quick duplication.
Disadvantage:
- Requires a master disc for each and every run.
(Could be harmful for the master disc)
- Maximum DVD duplication speed is typically
limited to 4x or 6x.
- Requires the master disc to be in excellent
condition for error free duplication.
Load and Copy:
This mode instructs the duplicator to load your
master disc into the built-in hard drive reserve
partition and make the requested quantity of
copies directly from the hard drive. The image will
remain stored in the reserve partition, available for
future duplications of the same project until you
perform this feature again with a new master.
Once a new master is used for Load and Copy, the
