Vinpower expanded their offering of its revolutionary one of a kind series of TrueAudio CD audio Copy and Compare capable duplication, by infinity. Well, maybe not infinity, but certainly by exponential growth by implementing this feature into our line of connectable daisy chain duplicators. When using Vinpower’s Daisy Chain duplicator controller with specified TrueAudio capability and with Vinpower’s line of modified TrueAudio capable drives. Whether the systems are preassembled or bought as components, the user can connect many towers together to make a single super capacity CD audio duplication hub. In doing so, the user will be able to accurately do a copy + compare for CD-R with audio recordings that were not recognized until Vinpower introduced it.

The problem with CD duplication towers were there was no way to perform a proper compare after the content was duplicated onto recordable CD-R discs. That’s because CD-R’s had no Error-correcting code (ECC) built into the design and there was no way to perform an accurate parity check through the duplicators. Which meant there was no way to make an exact 100% recreation of CD audio content. That was true until now. Vinpower created their exclusive line of TrueAudio duplication equipment that can perform the 1st ever True Copy and Compare feature for audio CD-R’s. This option will allow operators performing audio CD duplication the assurance that the copied discs will be an exact reproduction of the master content.

As I mentioned many times in the past, CD duplication, particularly audio CD, is still extremely strong in many territories, showing there’s still a need for a better and more reliable CD duplicator. Just because the overall optical disc market has decreased, it doesn’t mean the market has disappeared. In fact, the businesses that have stayed the course, are finding it’s worthwhile to continue investing in CD duplication hardware as they are picking up more clients that no longer find replication a viable option.

Of course these daisy chain towers can copy DVD as well, but the true advantage is the CD audio Copy and Compare functionality. If you’re looking to improve your reliability and confidence with your CD audio duplication jobs, contact Vinpower to learn more about our TrueAudio Duplicators.

Just like I discussed in the previous week’s email blast, high fidelity and lossless audio quality is becoming more popular with those that truly enjoy music or other forms of audio content. You don’t have to be an audiophile to truly appreciate the value of high quality audio. The problem is, the uncompressed lossless audio files are very large files and take up a lot of capacity on our players, which today are most typically your phone. Of course CD’s have near perfect sound quality, but it’s not always convenient to listed to CD’s. So what do you do when you want the digital quality of a CD but don’t want to lug around your entire CD collection and you don’t have the storage capacity on your phone for full sound of lossless audio files? The solution is easy, store those files on an iXflash drive!

With the iXflash drive, available in sizes from 32GB up to 512GB, you can store a huge array of music files, including lossless audio files, that can be played directly through your iPhone or iPad. Even lossless audio files like the hi-res flac files, which aren’t supported by iPhones but can still be played on an iPhone through the iXflash App, can be stored and played anytime you want. The iXflash gives you the freedom to play all your music while the iXflash is connected to your iPhone / iPad, or you can temporarily load select songs or a playlist onto your iPhone / iPad and when you’re done listening to them, remove them from the iPhone / iPad to free up more space. Yet, they remain on the iXflash for the next time you want to listen to those songs or programing.

We’ve all been there, no matter what capacity storage you buy with your iPhone, you seem to always battle running out of space. Between the hi-res pictures and videos, the never ending number of Apps and its stored data, and the confounding “other” content, there never seems to be enough storage when you need it. Since smart phones are less frequently used as a phone and more often used as out everyday camera, for social media, internet search engine, TV, and radio source, the items that often the odd man out are the music files. Don’t go back to the low-res compressed MP3 audio files that don’t provide the full musical fulfillment, get an iXflash and get the full concert experience whenever and wherever you are!

When the first CD’s were released for the masses in the early 1980’s, it was a revolution of sound. Never before could the full spectrum of sound be heard with such clarity and consistency. Audio CD’s were an immediate success and music customers were replacing their entire collections of records and tapes to enjoy the Lossless Audio quality only found on CD’s, nearly killing off the previous formats in the process.

Then, nearly 2 decades later, another digital revolution in music transpired, the ability to download music from the internet. Customers, often younger patrons with less disposable income that were upset at the perceived high cost of complete albums, which often only contained 1 or 2 songs they actually wanted, discovered they could “share” the music through file sharing sites like the defunct Napster. Eventually, many of these “free” file sharing sites were reigned in by the courts and the music industry fighting to maintain some semblance of control over the content they owned. This lead to the immergence of iTunes from Apple and the recognition people were willing to pay for streaming music if they had the power to purchase only the songs they wanted at a price they felt was reasonable. In order to make the music universally available, especially at a time when many were still using dialup internet service, the larger digital .WAV files had to be condensed to much smaller files, like an MP3, that could be downloaded faster for a majority of people. The sound quality was not as strong, but acceptable to most at the time.

Because .WAV files are often 90% larger than the traditional MP3 files, it limits the total number of songs one could fit on an “MP3” player. The rise of the MP3 lead to a whole generation of music lovers not experiencing the true sound of the music. Which is why, true audiophiles are resurrecting the older methods of recordings, like vinyl records, cassette tapes, and CD’s to hear the music in the original manner that the artists recorded and intended the music to be heard. As more and more people experience the true audio recordings in the original sound quality, they are coming around to demanding Lossless Audio formats like .WAC, flac, and others These larger capacity files are often not compatible with traditional “MP3” players or devices or take up too much capacity on user’s phones and tablets, so there’s a resurgence in owning and listening to music on CD’s.

If you care about the quality of sound and being able to truly enjoy the full resonance of the music you enjoy, try listening to the full spectrum of sound of lossless audio files as recorded onto a CD.

When Vinpower exhibited at CES we focused on all of the ways we offer to backup, reproduce, and disseminate all types of digital content. Of course we are well known for our line of optical disc, flash (USB & SD), as well as hard drive (HDD & SSD) duplicators and media offerings. But we are also evolving and focusing on ways to support the growing mobile device market and offering backup solutions for cell phones and tablets. With our line of iXflash and the upcoming iXflash Cube series, we are revolutionizing the way people think about storing and backing up their mobile phones and tablets.

Check out this video on Vinpower’s YouTube page highlighting the many facets of storage solutions Vinpower offers:

Considering only 20% of people perform any type of backup for their digital content, a majority of the population does not have an protective measures in place should something happen to whatever they store their digital content on. It’s even more dangerous when it comes to mobile devices as they are so much easier to lose or get damaged. Data has shown that 70 million cell phones worldwide are lost every year. If we use the same researched calculation that only 20% of mobile phone users backed up their devices, that means potentially over 50 million people lost all the content stored on their lost or damaged device. Imagine, what would you do if you lost all your precious photos and videos? You don’t have to take that chance, when the iXflash and the upcoming iXflash Cube make it so incredibly easy to back up the content from your mobile device and transfer that content onto another mobile device or computer hard drive for safe keeping. Don’t lose a lifetime of memories when you can backup it up in no time!

When most people think about the most critical part(s) of an Optical Disc Drive (ODD), they typically think of the laser diode that reads the discs. Of course, that is a critical element and without it the drive cannot function. However, there is another critical element that is often overlooked and not given much consideration, the disc tray mechanism. That includes not just the tray itself, but also the gears, pulleys, and sliding mechanisms that allow it to extend and recoil smoothly and consistently.

Often, because it’s not seen as critical as other components, because production drives are designed for single drive PC use, many manufactures don’t put much thought behind how to enhance it. The problem is that while a typical computer owner with an internal disc recorder drive may open and close the drive infrequently, a duplication equipment user will depend on those drives opening and closing potentially hundreds or even thousands of times a day.

That’s why Vinpower’s line of duplication focused ODD’s ensure the drive tray is suitable for the real-world duplication environment. Vinpower’s PLUS and ROBOT PLUS drives are enhanced to allow thousands of in and out operation without failure. We physically modify each drive to handle the rigors of the duplication environment, especially for robotic autoloader duplicators.

Autoloaders require extended trays with more give and flexibility while continuously offering consistent tray extension. Since Vinpower produces its own line of autoloaders, we are uniquely qualified to understand the complications and the abuse these drive trays endure day in and day out, so we are most qualified to design a drive tray mechanism to function under these specific conditions.

If you are a duplicator or manufacture duplication equipment, be it manual towers or robotic autoloaders, contact Vinpower through our website, www.vinpowerdigital.com, or through a member of our sales and support staff to get more details about which of our many ODD’s would be the right fit for you.

When it comes to total water resistant glossy media, there aren’t a lot of options in the market today. Previously, Taiyo Yuden was the de facto choice, but with their exit from the media business in 2016, most customers accepted whatever their supplier offered as the replacement. What you may or may not be aware of is that Vinpower’s line of Plexdisc Liquid Defense Plus, manufactured under the OPTODISC umbrella, has been proven over many years in the marketplace, to provide one of, if not the best water resistance and print quality, bar none. In fact, Vinpower’s line of Liquid Defense Plus, water and scratch resistant glossy media, is the only line that includes the entire range of optical disc formats; including CD-R, DVD±R, DVD+R DL, 25GB BD-R, and 50GB BD-R DL versions. Even better is that the cost of Liquid Defense Plus is the lowest on the market. In fact, the Liquid Defense Plus media has a lower total cost per print than printed color thermal discs when you account for the cost of the media and the ink/ribbon.

Around the world, Inkjet printing is still the primary print method for labeling optical discs. Even though the printers can apply photo quality artwork, if the discs are just standard inkjet printable media, the actual printed image is not protected and can easily smear, fade, or bleed. The best way to prevent that is by using the Vinpower line of Liquid Defense Plus media, which uses special nano-particle molecular technology to seal in the ink and prevent moisture or other factors to disrupt the image. The nano-particle molecular technology prevents the ink from separating and holds it in place, regardless of the amount of water or moisture that comes in contact with it. If you really care about the look and longevity of your printed media, Vinpower’s Liquid Defense Plus is the best solution for you!

Stored digital content and the exceptionally Ultra Hi-Def 4K video are pushing the boundaries of storage capacities and our computer hard drives. Even small businesses are forced to increase their server capacities to accommodate the exponentially increasing digital content. However, not all that content needs to be accessed on demand all the time. To reduce costs and ensure proper safety of all content, it’s important to offload the cold storage data onto a safe and easily recallable digital source, like optical discs. The problem is that standard optical disc capacity is too limited to meet the demands of this increased digital content, even using single or double layer Blu-ray media. Which is why Vinpower is proud to offer the exceptional quad layer Sony BD-R XL 128GB recordable media. With the greater capacity, the Sony 128GB BD-R XL discs allow users to hold more than 5 times extra content than a standard Blu-ray disc and over 25 times more than a standard recordable DVD±R disc. Plus with the exceptional long life archival capability, these discs are the perfect solution for archiving all your digital content for long term safe storage.

In addition to archival benefits, those that make movies in the latest UHD 4K format recognize the incredible amount of storage needed for such high definition quality. Filming in 4K often means that a typical 2 hour movie could have a digital capacity exceeding the storage space of a typical recordable Blu-ray media. Through in the extras and you’re way over the capacity of most single discs storage capacity. Take it a step further and maybe you want to record an entire series of a program onto 1 disc, not generally possible without the extra capacity provided with the 128GB BD-R XL media. Whether you are looking to archive data or film in Ultra Hi-Def 4K, the Sony 128GB BD-R XL recordable media is the perfect solution for your needs.

The 128GB BD-R XL discs are not readily available outside Japan, which is why Vinpower decided to partner with Sony to make these discs more widely available globally.

Vinpower partnered with Pioneer, to enhance the DVD±R writing functionality for the BDR-212DBK line, providing increased quality output, especially for the popular single layer DVD5 (4.7GB) media recording and was exhibited at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

View the press release about the enhancement for the DVD recording strategy created by Pioneer in cooperation with Vinpower for the BDR-212DBK drive:

http://www.cdrlabs.com/news/vinpower-digital-announces-newly-enhanced-functionality-for-the-pioneer-bdr-212dbk.html

The Pioneer BDR-212DBK drive has already offered many advantages to the standard half height burner drives as it is built using true Japanese design and parts for a stronger and more reliable drive. With Vinpower’s support, Pioneer is able to improve the drive’s burning performance by providing consistent and reliable burning of any file type for the duration of the duplication progress. This ensures the recordable DVD media will have a greater success rate when copying and greater reliability of playback. In addition, the enhanced BDR-212DBK will ensure even and uniform burning appearance across the full circumference of the disc every time, even if just burning 1 disc or during heavy use.
