bcdusa dot com - DVD Recorders

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

+R, +RW, or -R
Pick one.
DVD +/-R has become more of a religious issue than a technical one. BCD Controllers operate both types. Back in the year 2000, it was hard to find players that would play either +R or -R discs.

The BCD DVD-1150 Industrial DVD Recorder uses +RW and +R. Frankly, +RW is our favorite. The +RW disc is preformatted by the machine (takes less than a minute) and this insures playablity on any other DVD player. And... +RW doesn't need finalizing!

Today, when we run tests at major retailers like Circuit City and Best Buy, they have players that like both kinds of discs, "+ and "-".

Both "+R" and "-R" will playback immediately on a similar recorder. No finalization required. After finalization, we find that both flavors play well in consumer DVD players.

DVD+RW is uniqie in that it will play in most consumer decks immediately, no finalization is required (or available).

DVD Players: Your Favorite Brand?
Our VC-16b and VC-16a controllers operate the Sony, Panasonic, JVC & Pioneer models that we hae tested. We continue to have excellent relationships with all major DVDR manufacturers. We work hard to be certain that our control protocols are up to date with the latest models. We don't care what brand you choose, we just want to help you control it!

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.)
