Duplitech produces industry-first Live Event Blu-ray DVD for Sony.

Sony selected Duplitech to produce, author and duplicate its 2006 Global Marketing Partners Conference on the Blu-ray DVD format. The Sony Conference DVD represents the first live event production of a high definition Blu-ray DVD. In fact, it is the only high definition Blu-ray DVD production done outside of a major movie studio.

"We were really pleased at having the opportunity to produce a live event Blu-ray DVD for Sony." said Tony Cunha, President of Duplitech Corporation. "Duplitech had already produced several live events in standard definition DVD for organizations like PROMAX BDA and NATPE, so the move to Blu-ray was a natural transition for our group."

Duplitech provides encoding, authoring, duplication and publishing-on-demand services in the CD, DVD and Blu-ray formats.

Duplitech announces advanced Quality Control process for duplicated DVD-R's.
 
Duplitech has integrated the Datarius DVD Analyzer into its production process. This system allows us to measure both DVD-R media quality and writer consistency in duplicated discs. Result: DVD-R's duplicated at our facility meet Phillips standards for critical playability parameters, virtually eliminating field rejects due to bad drives and/or bad media.

"Poor media quality and improper DVD-R drive maintenance are two of the biggest causes of consumer playability problems.” according to Duplitech President Tony Cunha. The Media Analyzer allows duplicators to achieve greater quality and consistency in their production process.

In addition to using the Datarius system for process control, Duplitech also offers affordable DVD-R and CD-R media testing services to its clients.
