A DVD Duplicator is a complete stand alone duplicator that consists of 3 major components – the controller, source drive, and multiple target drives. The controller or sometimes known as controller card is the heart and the brain that controls the data flow between the source and the target drives. It is user-friendly with only a few buttons and a remarkably easy-to-use menu system that is ready for operations within minutes. It usually consists of 4 buttons and a LCD display. There is no need for commercial copying software, since all the rudimentary functions like selecting source and targets, copy speed, testing, etc., are programmed into the firmware. The writing speed is adjusted and optimized to avoid write failures.

Controllers allow OEMs and VARs to build their own CD/ DVD duplication towers or Autoloader systems. The controllers are conveniently available as plug-and-play for tower systems, general purpose controllers, autoloader, and robotic systems. You will be able to make your own stand-alone CD / DVD duplicators with only the touch of a few buttons.

Two separate duplicators using the same type of drives can be expected to have different performance if the quality of the controller and the internal temperature is different. The controllers serve as the brain that controls all signals and commands going to the drives. In additional to large memory capacity, quality controller needs to have the appropriate operation system programmed internally. The controller that Supermediastore.com chooses ensures a more stable duplication with dramatically enhanced compatibility for the drives used. The steel cases for these duplicator controllers are designed to reduce heat which prevents the drives from interruption from a “burnt out”. 

There are only a few choices for duplication controller cards, but the price can vary from $30 to $100+. The power supply itself can differ from $30 to $80. This specially designed 400Watt power supply provides the most reliable and stable voltage for the duplicator ensuring the unit will not die prematurely. However, it is also important to note that supply wattage depends on the size of the duplicator and the number of target drives.

Just like purchasing a computer, home appliance, or even a car, pricing varies depending on performance, reliability, brand name, and manufacturer support. So when you’re selecting a duplicator controller, do not only focus on the price. Other details such as the compatible writers, buffer memory size, firmware update, and the CD/DVD burn speed setting should also be considered.
