CD Associates Announces the Industry's First Affordable DVD Analyzer
IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 9, 1997--CD Associates Inc., the
technology leader in the field of disc analysis, announced the delivery
of the DVD100MG DVD Analyzer.
The DVD100MG provides complete automated data acquisition and analysis,
and can test a full-length DVD-5 in less than 50 minutes.
"Our DVD100MG is the only affordable, advanced production level DVD
measurement system available in today's market," stated Carolyn Gross,
exec vice president of marketing for CD Associates.
"On Oct. 1 we began shipping the first production units, at the U.S.
list price of $65,000. The DVD100MG provides DVD analysis features well
beyond those offered by any other system, for less than one-third the
cost."
The new analyzer offers a full complement of DVD measurement
capabilities, including important physical, analog and digital
parameters outlined in Version 1.0 of the DVD specification.
The DVD100MG has a user friendly, intuitive interface similar to CDA's
Advanced Measurement CD product line. The system provides a reliable
hot-key and mouse-driven operator interface and complete file export
capabilities.
The DVD100MG analyzer provides real-time analog, digital, logical and
physical measurements and reports PI/PO data (digital errors on disk).
Balanced, non-equalized signal outputs are provided for the
manufacturing engineer to give a qualitative real-time response monitor
for DVD process development.
The CD Associates DVD Jitter Option provides the user both the specified
Data-to-Clock and additionally the Data-to-Data ("Effect Length") Jitter
response. Buffered signal outputs for EFM+ and PLL clock are provided
for interfacing to external Jitter measurement devices.
The DVD100MG Analyzer System is a standalone unit that can be attached
to a local area network (LAN). It is a self-contained system, and no
laboratory equipment is required to collect data. Incorporated in the
analyzer is an industrial computer that has 16MB of RAM, 1GB hard disk,
monitor and HP Desk Jet printer. With a few minutes of training, any
operator will be capable of managing the system. Testing can begin
minutes after delivery. Logical screen menus are easy to learn and
operate.
The CDA engineering team is dedicated to providing the most cost-
effective, quality products to enhance the development of the DVD
process. CD Associates maintains a European office and Asian
distribution is handled through a network of sales agents.
