MicroBoards bring in the big guns - MX1, MX2, and PrintFactory Pro

MicroBoards have announced the European launch of 3 new systems for large volume disc publishing. The MX1, MX-1, DVD CD Publisher features 1000 disc capcity, HP inkjet printer and a single high speed DVD CD recorder.

The MX2, MX-2 Disc Publisher features the same revised robotics and build quality, with 100 disc capacity, plus an extra DVD CD Recorder enabling 2X the output.

Finally the Print Factory Pro features the same chasis, body and robotics, with 100 disc capacity, HP inkjet printer, less the DVD CD Recorders.

All the units feature a new HP donor printer meaning that the costs per print will be lower. The MX1 MX2 and Print Factory Pro all use individual colour carts, meaning you can print more discs and use less ink.

Hopefully Microboards will be shipping over a unit very soon so we can offer a full review. Come back soon to find out if the new units live up to the promises.

BD Duplicator & Blu Ray Copiers

Whilst the Sony and Co bandwagon continues to roll into your nearest town spreading the word of Blu-Ray like a low fat olive oil spread, we cant help but notice that the once Blue Sky "Blu Drive" seems to be making its presence felt. No doubt xmas will see big sales of the PS3 in 40GB HD mode, if only because the Wii is like hens teeth.

From a production hardware point of view it has been very difficult to forecast what sort of demand we will see for Blu-Ray and HD DVD Duplicators. The cost of BluRay production systems remains beyond the reach of most Digital Video and creative production house, unless they specifically work with the HD field.

Once again StorDigital Systems are pleased to break the mould with there first HD duplicator. The SD1BDHD is a 2X single target Blu-Ray, DVD and CD Copier with an on board 500GB Hard Drive. Perfect for any production house working with HD content who needs to free up production resources. Ideal for pilots, demos, show reels and corporate video, the StorDigital Blu Ray Duplicator is the first product in a new line of high defnition duplicators from StorDigital Systems.

Don't go grey over disc publishing.

There is much talk in the industry right now about customers buying their product from overseas via the grey import channel. With the sinking value of the dollar buying from an overseas supplier can appear very attractive.

It is true savings can be made on the purchase price of goods, but what happens when a machine needs repairing or is damaged in transit. You will unlikely be protected by UK consumer laws.

Pioneer 115D - 20X DVD Writer unveiled

Obviously Pioneer thought that to release a drive containing the number 13 was going to be unlucky, and then to release a drive with the number 14 would make them look superstitious. So now we have the Pioneer 115D 20X DVD writer on the horizon and its moving fast. In fact its moving at 20X on both DV+R and DVD-R and 10X on dual layer. So rather than leading the race it looks like they are just keeping up with the competition. Having said that lets hope this new drive will not feature the bugs, so easily swept under the carpets, that blighted the 112D in it's earliest incarnations.

Pioneer - please make sure it burns CD's this time.

Extender for Microsoft Media PC

A new dawn is upon us and its looks like a generic black box. The black box in question is an MC Extender, Media Center Extender, MCExtender or MC Xtender and it's going to infiltrate your home and take over your life. Over the coming year we will find that TVs, DVD players, games consoles, Cable Boxes, Fridges and a host of other consumer products will begin to intergrate MC Extender functionality.

Thats's great, but what does it mean?

By operating as an MCExtender for example, a DVD player will be able to interface your TV with your PC. This means you will be able to navigate, broadvision style with a host of subscription and non subscription internet services, in addition to organising and viewing all the media content hosted on your PC. Expect services to evolve fast into areas that we've seen become favourites on the web, including; chat, shopping, and community features.

There are already a host of sites looking at supporting the industry and market place with one of our favourites being the aptly named, MCExtender.com
