bcdusa dot com - Finalize

You don't always have a serial port available so the DVD-1150 has a USB port that acts like a serial port. Windows® assigns a COM # for each machine. Each DVD-1150 has a unique ID so you can use a USB hub to operate several machines. Standard on the DVD-1150.

DVD-1150 Info

Recently

Eject after Finalize
Many clients have asked for an easily visible way to determine when Finalize is finished. The DVD-1150 now ejects the disc when finalize is finished. This shows you the open tray, says "Tray Open" on the front panel, and returns "OPEN" as status.

One Minute Startup
A new firmware release now enables complete system initialization in about a minute (0.:57 - 1:05). Detection of No Disc or Tray Open is less than 15 seconds from power-on. Check out release DA90513e. Now shipping with new units. Available for update. 2009-05-13

Slot-Load
Some of our clients, especially government & military, have expressed interest in having slot-load DVD drives. We now offer slot-load drives as an option. Call BCD for details & pricing. 2009-04-25

New GRUPs
Group several recorders together so that the command "GRUP 1; RECS" makes all machines record at once. No one ever needed more than one group, but someone asked for more groups, so now we can have lots of GRUPs. And each machine remembers its DECK and GRUP numbers in flash. 2009-03-15

Finalize w/Front Panel
Always a standard feature, DVD-1150 Front-Panel Finalization is improved. Added is Front-panel countdown so you can see when Finalization is finished. New firmware and manual available in Support-->Downloads section. 2009-02-28

"How to Finalize a DVD"
(Hold REC, Touch STOP, Release, Touch ENTER)

It's true. We prefer "+RW" discs because they do not require Finalization. You just Record, Stop, Eject, and play in another machine. Period.

Some situations, however, require permanence and Finalization of the "+R disc before it will play in another machine. Finalizing can take as long as 5 minutes, and other machines can make you drill through multiple menus just to get there: Up, Enter, Down, Down, Down, Enter, Right, Enter, OK. Whew!

DVD Transport Buttons showing links for Record and Finalize
Finalization with the DVD-1150 is easy.

With RS-232, just issue the FINL command.
With front panel buttons, just hold REC, touch STOP, release, touch ENTER.

The Finalize Display counts down to zero to tell you when Finalizing is finished. We even included a countdown on the front display to let you know how long it will be.

Client Comments
Our clients are a laconic bunch. We rarely hear from them because our products just work. When we can pry comments from them, they sound like this:

Purchased: 11/21/2007, Quantity 7: "Things are great. Lovely recorder. We are pleased with the product to date. We're using finalized +R for permanent discs. " Comment Date: 1-27-2009: "We really like them... haven't had any issues. Great product so far. No problem w/playing these discs on other machines like we had with other recorders."

"...Robust RS-232 Interface..." (Some other machines 'go to sleep' and require physical restart.)

(Pretty boring stuff. It just works.)
