Multiple Machines Multiple Controllers |
BCD Controllers may be individually addressed from a single serial port. The "DECK 3" command selects machine #3. All subsequent commands go to that machine. We can use a VC-16a to accept button presses, then send discrete commands to individual machines (DVD-C7 players & recorders, VC-16b, VC-16a, and SB-100. Custom BCD programming is often required.

|
ViaDVDtm DVD Authoring Software gives precise, and easy disc creation. A Powerful and Easy DVD Authoring System, ViaDVD is the successor to DVDMotion. with drag-and-drop flowchart authoring, import of MPEG-1, MPEG-2, AVI and MOV files.
We use MTC's ViaDVDtm as our primary authoring tool in our service bureau. We like ViaDVD authoring software because it is powerful and straightforward.
ViaDVD is no longer available from BCD!
Because DVD Authoring has become commonplace and software is given away with every DVD Recorder Drive,
the author of ViaDVD decided give away our favorite Authoring System...nearly.
We used to sell it for $249.00, but now the price is only $24.95! Frankly, we can't make any money at that price, so we'll just refer you directly to the author's site.
