In a move that will help protect documents, records, photographs and other digital data for up to 1,000 years, Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) announced that all of its DVD Duplicators now can copy content onto specialized DVDs that are designed to last for centuries.
As more businesses and individuals store content on digital mediums, such as CDs, hard drives, flash drives and servers, there is greater potential for content to inadvertently get erased or corrupted. With this in mind, Xerox , through a licensing agreement with Vinpower Digital, will enable all Xerox DVD Duplicators to copy digital content onto the long lasting Vinpower M-DISC™ 4.7GB recordable media.
Different from traditional DVDs, the M-DISC utilizes an inorganic stone-like material on the write layer that is extremely resistant to heat, light, humidity, and oxidation, leading causes of data loss and content corruption on conventional DVDs. When tested by the U.S. Department of Defense Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, the M-DISC was the only media out of five competing brands to retain the data burned onto it without degradation, even when subject to the highest degree of ultraviolet rays and inclement weather.

The Auto SpeedJet printer automatically prints up to a 100 disc capacity unattended through means of an ultra-high speed disc loading mechanism simply by hooking it up to a computer via USB connection.
To keep printing costs to the minimum, the Auto SpeedJet uses non-proprietary ink cartridges. Replacement ink can be found at any office supply store carrying genuine HP ink cartridges. The 4800 dpi maximum ink resolution creates true color, photo quality prints on top of any inkjet printable surface CD, DVD, or Blu-Ray Disc. And while the Auto SpeedJet comes standard with disc labeling software, use any graphics application of your choice. There is no need for specialized multi-disc printing software. Just enter how many copies you need in the print dialog box of any label design software and come back when all discs are printed.

What if you run a critical job overnight that is time sensitive and something happens that causes the machine to stop? Rest assured that you will be notified immediately via either NetSend or regular email so you can take care of the problem in a timely manner. With almost all mobile phones now using email accounts, you can now get a quick message direct to your phone. Wasted time is averted and production is back up and running.
Within the Zeus Series Publishers, you can notify users, computers or e-mail addresses via either NetSend messenger service or SMTP outgoing email.
Notifications will be sent if one or more of the following occurs:
- All jobs in the list have been completed without error.
- All jobs in the list have been completed, but an error occurred.
- Every job has been completed without an error.
- Every job has been completed with an error.
- The system requires an operator action.
- A device has been disabled because of a hardware problem.
NetSend
This function utilizes the Windows “net send” command which allows sending messages to computers or users within an LAN. To use this function, the Messenger Service must be running on both the local and the remote computer.
SMTP
This protocol allows sending messages to internet e-mail addresses. To use SMTP, an SMTP host and a sender address must be specified. The SMTP host should be configured to accept SMTP connections from the computer running the PPNG Server. Also, it must not require SMTP-after-POP authentication. The sender address will be added to the generated e-mail, so that the recipient knows where the e-mail originates. It is not necessary to create a special email account for PPNG Server as you can also use your own e-mail.

Vinpower Digital has offered DVD video copy protection for quite some time with very positive acceptance in the marketplace. (The Blu-ray version of copy protection will be introduced in the near future). Until now, this feature was solely offered in our line of manual tower and large TITAN Supreme autoloader duplicators or our PC enabled robotic loaders, such as the Cronus systems. With the unstable economy, there were still users that need greater throughput and overnight duplication ability afforded by an autoloader, but don’t have the budget for the larger TITAN Supreme. So Vinpower has integrated the copy protection capability in the smaller less expensive, yet equally effective, Aero series of standalone autoloader duplicators. The Aero series is available in 2, 4, & 6 drive configurations with disc capacity from 220 up to 660 discs depending on the model. Contact Octave Systems to receive additional information about this upgraded product line and pricing.

Nexcopy Inc., announces DoD erase functions for USB, SD and microSD media along with full support for USB 3.0 flash drives.
- Department Of Defense (DoD) Erase function
- DoD erase is three cycle write process of 0’s – 1’s – 0’s.
- Erase function supports USB, SD and microSD media
- Standalone USB duplicators fully support USB 3.0 flash drives
Updated firmware for the Nexcopy standalone USB duplicator systems supports a variety of erase functions. The Full Erase function writes a cycle of zero’s to all sectors of a flash memory device and clears out any partition tables. In addition, the Nexcopy firmware supports Department of Defense (DoD) Erase functions which meets government security standards. The DoD Erase function employs a three cycle write pattern where a first pass of Zero’s are written to the entire device, a second pass of One’s are written to the entire device and finally a third pass of Zero’s are written to all areas of the flash device. Through this redundancy write cycle process there is no chance to recover residual files on a flash memory device.
“Nexcopy is very excited about our DoD erase firmware update to standalone USB duplicator systems.” reports Greg Morris, President of Nexcopy. “We have seen increased demand for erase functions for flash memory, including business sectors from the banking industry and telecommunications industry. Our goal of continued product development and improvement has paid off, and Nexcopy can now supply a durable solution for these needs.”
Nexcopy’s firmware update includes additional driver support for new USB 3.0 flash drives. The new release insures nearly all USB 3.0 flash drives will work flawlessly on the Nexcopy standalone USB duplicator systems. With full support of 3.0 devices means the user will see higher speed data transfer rates during Copy and Verification procedures.

Vinpower’s bundled archival media kit is the perfect solution for any size business or even individuals looking for long-term storage of important digital files. Keeping back-ups on optical media is becoming more and more important as it’s the only true incorruptible and safest method of storage. Optical discs are the only medium that cannot be altered or infected with viruses after data have been stored on them. Flash media like USB or hard drives, even with encryption software, can be altered, or infected with viruses or spyware that can compromise the information stored. Also, and even worse for the casual consumer, the data stored can be erased, leaving potentially critical files or priceless mementoes, like pictures, gone forever. Even the new craze of Cloud storage can be hacked or subject to exposure, which could again lead to information being altered, erased, or even distributed to parties that were not intended to view or have knowledge of that information. Even traditional DVD or CD media is not completely safe as time and environment could cause saved data to eventually erode and potentially disappear or the disc can become unreadable, which prevents data content recovery.
Vinpower’s line of M-DISC™ archival media will allow any user to copy any digital content onto these optical discs and know that it will remain exactly as it was for decades, potentially even centuries. Plus, by keeping it on a physical media, the user can safely lock up the disc(s) preventing potential unknown hackers from capturing the content. The Vinpower M-DISC™ is the perfect choice for safety and longevity for any digital content from confidential documents to pictures of your child’s first birthday party!

Vinpower Duplicators have long been using the USB connector to allow the user to transfer content from a computer to either a single drive or directly to the duplicator’s hard drive (HDD). This method is often the easiest or only method by which the user can create the master disc or upload the master content onto the duplicator’s HDD.When it comes to CD or DVD, the transfer rate of the USB 2.0 (rated at 60MBytes/sec) was adequate.
Now, we are living in the world of Blu-ray and disc capacity is growing by leaps and bounds. The older USB 2.0 transfer rate is just not going to cut it when you need to burn or transfer anywhere from 25GB’s to over 100GB’s of data. At that rate it could take hours to make a single Blu-ray master disc.
The Vinpower USB 3.0 connection is compatible with all of Vinpower’s advanced USB connected features such as PC Connection, Drag & Drop, Copy Protection and others. The USB 3.0 PC connection also supports ISO, NRG and multi-file drag and drop for all formats at a much faster speed than USB 2.0.
With the introduction and the implementation by Vinpower of USB 3.0, (transfer rate up to 5Gbit/s and backwards compatible with USB 2.0), available on all manual tower and specific autoloader duplicators, the transfer time will be knocked down to minutes or even seconds.This will enable those looking to duplicate content onto Blu-ray discs, the ability to transfer that data through the USB 3.0 onto a master disc or the duplicator’s HDD rapidly and eliminate wasted time getting started.
Contact Octave Systems today to learn more about the USB 3.0 connection offering.

Vinpower Digital is constantly looking for ways to develop products that meet the stringent needs of an evolving and more price sensitive market. That is why we have created our latest offering, the Venetian Printer. This is no ordinary inkjet printer, but rather a specialty Eco Solvent Ink printer, which can produce beautiful high-resolution images or text across nearly any surface for mere pennies per print. The availability of Eco Solvent Ink printers is nothing new, but they typically cost many thousands of dollars and tend to be very large complicated machines. The Venetian is far more affordable and easy to use in a compact device that can fit nearly anywhere.
The Venetian printer using the Eco Solvent Ink can print across many different surfaces without requiring any special coating or treatment. In fact, it is perfect for use with optical discs (i.e. CD, DVD, or Blu-ray), Security ID cards, Fabric, Paper, and many other surfaces. In addition to being able to print on a variety of surfaces, the Eco Solvent Ink is also extremely water and scratch resistant ensuring the printed image will endure day-to-day use or handling. The Venetian uses a Continuous Ink System (CIS) with 100ml exterior clear tanks, so the user can tell at a glance if the ink is running low to prevent running out of ink again in the middle of an important job.
In addition, our Eco Solvent Ink is very Earth friendly, as the solvent does not release any harsh chemicals that would negatively affect the planet. The Eco Solvent Ink will not clog or damage the print head either, making the Venetian a true cost effective print solution for so many applications.
