Aleratec Inc. launched a pair of standalone Blu-ray duplicators today, adding to its award-winning lineup of optical disc LightScribe duplicators.

Aleratec's new Blu-ray tower duplicators are available in two different models which allow you to burn up to 3 or 7 Blu-ray, DVD or CD copies at a time with just a few button pushes. Each unit features a simple, intuitive interface that includes 4 instant-access "Fast Keys" for common functions including PC-Connect and Source Selection. In PC-Connect mode, units can be connected to a PC via USB2.0 cable for access to the duplicator's generous 1TB internal hard drive. Users can simply drag and drop disc image and label files directly into the duplicator and be running duplication jobs in no time. These new standalone duplicators also include a dedicated Source drive, allowing the device to make disc-to-disc copies without sacrificing any write capacity. You can burn the same number of discs whether burning from the hard drive or from another source disc.

"As the prices for Blu-ray media and equipment continue to drop due to increasing demand, our customers find Blu-ray an increasingly attractive option for data distribution," said Perry Solomon, President and CEO. "In designing these products, we wanted to make sure that they would be relevant for years to come by including the latest 12X writers and high-capacity hard drives."

In addition to making perfect copies, LightScribe technology allows these Aleratec tower duplicators to laser-etch high quality images and labels onto LightScribe-compatible DVD and CD discs without the hassle of costly inks or ribbons. This technology allows users to burn and label their DVD and CD discs with a single device.

Aleratec's new Blu-ray tower duplicators are designed to meet the requirements of a wide range of customers, from small office to professional applications, all without the use of a computer. This family consists of 2 models: the 1:3 Blu-ray/DVD/CD LightScribe Duplicator SA and the 1:7 Blu-ray/DVD/CD Tower Publisher SLS. The company also offers a wide assortment of duplicator-grade LightScribe and traditional media, which have been optimized for maximum reliability when used with Aleratec duplicators.
