Recently, I wrote an email blast, proclaiming the return of the Optiarc drive and the DVD+R DL overburn feature, with the Optiarc 5290S PLUS drive. It appears we weren’t the only ones excited about the Optiarc 5290S PLUS and the overburn capabilities. There were a number of prominent online news organizations from different locations across the globe, that took it upon themselves to write about the announcement of this drive. Some of them were able to see for themselves after visiting our exhibition at the 2017 Computex tradeshow in Taiwan, while others picked up on my email blast and ran with the story from there. In any event, we are very proud and encouraged that there is so much excitement for the new Optiarc 5290S series of drives all over the world.

Here are a few links to some of the articles recently released about the Optiarc 5290S PLUS drive:

The nature of the white thermal printable surface tends to create a more adhesive surface type that can lead to 2 or more discs sticking together. This can become a serious problem, especially when this media is being used with automated publishing duplication equipment for multiple reasons. Firstly, when the media sticks together, it could damage the writable surface of the disc leading to higher failure rates. Secondly, when placing multiple discs onto a writer drive tray, it could damage the drive. Lastly, and most seriously, multiple discs could be placed into the printer and break the print head. Replacement print heads are very expensive and could kill your production until the printer can be repaired.

When Vinpower created the Optodisc line of recordable media, we set out to make not only a better quality burning media, but also ensuring the printable surfaces were the best available. We weren’t immune to the stickiness issue, but upon discovering the problem, we quickly jumped in to find a solution. For some time now, Vinpower’s line of Optodisc white thermal printable media not only offers excellent print quality, but also ensures the least tacky surface greatly reducing the risk of the media sticking together. Because of this, the likelihood of creating bad burns or damaging the drives or printer due to sticky media is virtually null. So, if you want top quality white thermal recordable media in any format, CD, DVD, and Blu-ray, at great pricing, then Vinpower’s line or Optodisc manufactured recordable media is the perfect solution for you.

Vinpower originally patented the unique DVD+R DL overburn feature a few years ago, at which point we worked with the Sony Optiarc team to implement that feature in the market leading Sony Optiarc 5280S-CB model. That feature became a big seller globally and created a huge demand. Eventually that model became End Of Life (EOL) and we thought the special DVD+R DL overburn feature would be a thing of the past. Fortunately, through Vinpower’s hard work and collaboration, we were able to bring back the Optiarc drive with the 5290S series and reintroduce the incredible DVD+R DL overburn feature on the PLUS model. So if you use DVD+R DL discs and discover that you have issues recording content because it’s slightly over the 8.5GB capacity limit, the Optiarc 5290S PLUS drives provides the ability to add up to 200MB* more recording capacity to overcome those frustrating limitations.

If you’re not familiar with what the DVD+R DL overburn feature is or how it can be useful for you, check out this link from a video we created for the original Sony Optiarc 5280S-CB drive previously and it will give you all the details you need to know and why it would be very useful for you or your business:

Piodata is an offshoot of a major optical disc drive (ODD) manufacturer catering to the duplication market. With the numbers of manufacturers for the common ODD used in optical disc duplicators decreasing, Piodata has remained. Piodata filled the gap as the key tier 1 Japanese ODD factory decided to exit the market. The Piodata DVS-S21DBK and the DVS-S21DBK PLUS are readily available and remain focused on the important global duplication market.

Advantages of Piodata:

1. Maintain quality and reliability by establishing a fixed BOM design, ensuring the main ODD components will not use downgraded parts.
2. Fine-tuned to maintain superior burning quality and speed, preventing “Donut Rings” on the recording layer for more stable payback.
3. Supports 4X DVD burn speed, providing the best burning quality.
4. The Piodata* drive uses enhanced components for the drive tray belt, enabling the tray to operate up to 6 times longer than a standard ODD drive tray under similar conditions.
5. The Piodata* is outfitted with a top quality OPU as well as an enhanced heat sink kit. This increases the burning stability (better quality), as well as prolongs the drives sustainability and reliability.
6. The Piodata* is able to continuously operate 24/7 by transferring heat faster through higher grade IC heat sink kit.

*Available on the DVR-S21DBK-PLUS model only.

For years, the Optiarc series of CD/DVD internal writer drives were the gold standard in the duplication market. When Sony decided to stop production of these drives, it left a hole in the market for a top quality affordable writer drive that can work in both manual towers and robotic autoloaders. Recognizing the void in the market, Vinpower worked with the original designers for the Optiarc drive to create the current model, the Optiarc AD5290S series. This drive will take the duplication market by storm as it did when it first hit the market nearly 15 years ago.

The new Optiarc series will have the same functionality of the last model but with improved performance and functionality. We will release more details of the drive’s features and availability closer to the release date, which is expecting to be late May or early June.

Vinpower would like to thank everyone that visited our booth during the 2017 NAB trade show. We look forward to further discussions about our product offerings. Each year the turnout is tremendous and the customer feedback has been very positive and encouraging that we are on the right track.

The NAB attendees were very pleased to view our expanded product offering, especially our large scale 128 port USB duplicator, latest line of iPhone and iPad flash storage and security devices, media offerings, publishing systems. The “iDevice” flash drives allow individuals to back up all of their photos and videos from their iPhones and iPads and well as play back stored content like movies and music without using their iPhone’s or iPad’s internal memory. In addition, there was a lot of attention for our enhanced USB and SD/Micro SD flash duplicators. These larger systems allow users to copy even more devices asynchronously or simultaneously than any of our previous systems. Additionally, we showed the Cronus publishing series offering our exclusive BCP Blu-ray copy protection. This series of publishing systems offers the ability to embed true copy protection on DVD and Blu-ray and soon to offer the world’s only AACS copy protection through a standalone duplicator. We showcased many other useful Vinpower hardware and media offerings.

For those who unfortunately could not visit us at NAB, you are always welcome to visit our website at www.vinpowerdigital.com, or contact us directly at one of our branch offices in the USA, Europe, Taiwan, or China.

When operating a thermal printer publishing system, an automated system that copies and thermal prints onto discs, the key is that it can function independently until the job is completed. Even though the hardware is functioning properly, if the media used in the system is sticky, it could kill the entire job, not to mention the potential damage it could do to the drives and the print head because multiple discs stuck together were loaded into the device.

Due to the nature of the thermal printable coating, which is designed to withstand thermal transfer ribbons that is heated and adhered to the disc, the top coating can become sticky due to compression or humidity. When the discs stick together, if the operator doesn’t manually separate them properly, they will cause the system to fail and could become a costly and time consuming headache.

To prevent these issues, OptoDisc developed a special formula for their thermal coating that will allow the discs to have a smoother, less sticky nature, yet still provide an exceptional print quality. Through the proprietary thermal printable surface and the adaptive packaging, the OptoDisc thermal printable media is the best solution to prevent sticky media and make sure your production doesn’t get stuck!
