Today's electronic workplace means that many more businesses have a need for data disc duplication. CD and DVD duplicators are no longer only found in audio video companies and software companies. Many offices have a need to back up and distribute everything from monthly reports to complete live presentations. DVD and CD duplicator towers are efficient ways to produce multiple copies of discs. They maintain a small footprint, usually no larger than a standard PC tower, and are easy to operate. UTI Mall offers several models and wants you to take the time to think about what features you need in your CD or DVD duplication tower. This way you are sure to make the best purchase for your application.

At their most basic form, duplicators or copiers are a stack of drives connected to a master. Typically, CD and DVD duplicators will have from 3 to 11 writing drives and the master reader. As you would expect, the more drives in the tower the more expensive it will be. The first decision that needs to be made is how many drives you need. Remember that copies are created at a greater speed than playback (often up to 20 times for DVDs and 48 times playback for CDs), so if you are copying an hour long video presentation DVD you will be able to copy more than one batch in an hour. Once you have determined how many copying drives, or targets, you need it is time to consider the other features of CD and DVD duplicators. Price and quality are not a concern when you are shopping with UTI Mall because you will only find name brand products, such as Sony and Pioneer, at the best prices on the Internet.
There are several options available. The easiest way to evaluate your needs is by using this simple checklist:
- How large of a hard drive do you need?
- Will you burn dual layer DVDs?
- Does your tower need USB 2.0 connections?
- Will you erase batches of DVD-RW discs?
Most DVD duplication towers now include hard drives. Dual layer capability and USB 2.0 connections are often options. Many towers require immediate writing after erasing DVD-RWs, so if you need blank DVD-RWs, make sure you purchase a tower that will simply erase without rewriting. When you are ready, UTI Mall has the tower you need.
