State of the CD-R Duplication Industry
CD-R duplication has taken the media manufacturing industry by storm over the last two years. Plummeting CD-R media prices and advances in automated, high-speed recording have made it advantageous to use CD-R duplication instead of traditional replication for runs of 1,000 discs or less. But the growth of CD-R duplication has also brought to light other issues, such as anti-piracy and the quality of duplicated CD-Rs. This panel discussion, including executives from both CD-R duplication equipment companies and service providers, will address the state of the CD-R duplication business, including the impending growth of DVD-R duplication.

Moderator: Hugh Bennett, President, Forget Me Not Information Systems.
Speakers: Brain Powell, Now Disc; Ken Klinck, Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Rimage Corporation; Christopher Bradlee, MediaFORM.

Technology Track

10:00am - 10:45am
DVD Production: Technology II
The second of 2 sessions on DVD production, this session will continue the exploration of how to improve and stabilize the DVD production process. Due to the inherent differences between the manufacturing processes of CD and DVD, even seemingly comparable steps in the process need a new look. Here the areas of sputtering and inspection will come under scrutiny.

Moderator: Ramesh Pisipati, Industry Manager, Optical Memory, Bayer Corporation.
Speakers: Dr. Ansgar Kaupp Manager, Research & Development, Basler Vision Technologies; Helfried Weinzerl, Product Manager CD/DVD, Balzers Process Systems.

This session will include an update and review of some of the most successful and cost-effective technologies and materials that are being utilized in CD-R manufacture. Similarly, the challenges and solutions for CD-RW manufacturing will also be explored.

Speaker: Wlodek Mischke, TREX, B.V.

Business/Markets Track

11:00am - 11:45am
Security Issues for High Value Products
Assuring your client, the content owner, that their product is secure while in the manufacturing facility, goes a long way in promoting and protecting your overall business. How can the replicator/duplicator provide such a secure environment for sensitive and expensive media products. What assurances do the content owners require and how can this be achieved?

Moderator: Gia McKenzie, Managing Editor, TapeDisc Business magazine.

Hi Daak Maak,

Dir entgeht aber auch kein Aspekt wenn es um Singulus geht.

Wenn es noch mehr so Leute wie Dich gäbe, könnte man glatt faul werden und gar keine eigenen Recherchen mehr anstellen.

Sind solche Messen eigentlich häufig Anlaß zu Kursveränderungen?

Gruß,
