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.

Fixed Variable Speed
We broke variable speed when we added the HDD (Hard Disk Drive).  Once again  the variable speeds go from 30x to -30x under RS-232 control  and from the front panel buttons (...but the serial control is better.) 

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
