Primera Bravo-XR Blu Disc Publisher

This one's for the publishers. Well, you can start a publishing business with it if you wish. Primera Technology unveiled its new Bravo XR-Blu Disc Publisher, claimed as the world's first automated CD/DVD duplicator and printer with Blu-ray Disc support.

Bravo XR includes integrated robotics, a color direct-to-disc inkjet printer and importantly, Pioneer's BDR-101A Blu-ray Disc/DVD Recorder. To enable you to write BD media, software based on Sonic Solutions is bundled with the duplicator.

This new release will be capable of writing single-layer discs - up to 25 gigs of data. Of course, if you're more interested in dual-layer support, you can choose to wait for the next version, which can give you as much as 50GB of writable space. With a blazing fast USB 2.0 connection compatible with Windows 2000/XP, the Bravo XR comes with SureThing CD Labeler software as well.

• Key mechanical components have been toughened for use in mission critical environments such as archival and backup, retail photo processing, music/video download, medical imaging, schools, churches, live events and more.
• Supplies and finished discs are accessible entirely from the front of the unit for easy installation, operation and supplies replenishment.
• An 11-gauge, all-steel front bezel and 18-gauge steel frame make the unit suitable for heavy workloads and true "lights-out" disc production.
• An integrated blue light illuminates the interior, making it simple to view operation.
• At only 7.7" (196mm) tall, Bravo XR fits perfectly on desks, retail countertops and shelves.
• A rack mount kit is optionally available for standard 19" 4U mounting
