I. Introduction

Fle x Pro i s a 23-targetcom m ercial gr ad e SD/Micro SD duplic ator which only takes up to 1/10
of a r egular dupl icator sp ace. It has higher output capacity and powerful functionalities by
bundle with special designed user menu selections, su ch as Dual Source Copy + Compare,
Format + Capacity Check, and Set Slow Out Threshold.

The com pact and li ght w eigh t Fl ex Pr o SD/ Micr o SD dupl ic ator is ideal for workplaces with
space limitation, lik e small off ic e and ret ail s tor e. With exp and able d esig n, Fl ex Pr o c an be
da isy chained together up to ten units to provide 239 ports fo r duplication, wh ich is 10 times
outpu t c apac ity t h an a s in gle unit m aking your daily job easier and flexible even with huge
quantity duplication demand.

Flex Pro is designed and developed based on the FPGA from the world famous
semic onduct or company XI LINX. E very process i ng c hannel is parallel to eac h ot h er w ith its
own control unit, therefore the duplicator will not sacrifice speed for the increasing number of
targets load ed - always r em ain th e same an d fast cop y s p e ed. Th e duplicat or s u pp or ts fast
cop y wit h mult iple fi le for mats c reated b y three major operat ing s ystems ( W indows/ Linux/
MAC), and makes mirror copies of data efficiently. Furt hermore, this duplicator has been
full y test ed with qu al ity assur ance bef ore leavi ng our manufacturing facili ty.

1. Features

a. Each processing channel has its own control unit and operates independently with

dedicated bandwi dt h of up t o 25MB per second.

b. Standalone operation. No PC or software is required, minimizing possible computer

virus infection.
c. Inst ant power on and of f , no war m-up or cool-down required.
d. E asy to use One-Touch operation.
e. Compare function available for verification of copy accuracy. The newly added Dual

Sourc e Cop y + C ompare f uncti on c an furth er compare th e copi ed media with s econd

source to make sure the copy accuracy against unexpected damage to the source

media.
f. Menu op tions are us er-friendl y an d easi l y ac cessed thr ou gh t he 4-button control panel.

II. Warning

1. The du pl icator tasks m en t i on ed in this user’s m an u al ar e as foll ow in g: C opy, C om p ar e ,

Copy + C ompare, Dual Sourc e C opy + Comp are, F ormat + C apaci ty Ch ec k, an d the

functions under Utility sub menu, such as Measure Speed, Quick Erase, Full Erase and

Media Information.

2. All the tasks can be executed in sync hr onous m ode, an d as ynchr onous mod e (except

Copy + Compare function and Dual Source Copy + Compare).

3. The Gr een LED f lash es d uri ng th e exec uti on proc ess of a t ask. A ft er th e tas k is d one ,

the Green LED will stay solid if the process is successful, otherwi se the Red L ED wi ll be

on if the process is failed.

4. Press and hold ESC butt on during th e executi on process of a task w i ll st op and exit the

execution of the task.

5. DO NO T unplu g SD or Micro SD card f r om t h e du pl icator d uring th e exec ut ion pr ocess

of a task. I t m ay c ause damage to the duplic ator system and m ed i a.

6. It is strongly recommended that the capacities of the source and target media are equal

or similar.

7. DO NOT plug in SD or Micro SD card until the duplicator boots up. It may cause

abnormal results if a SD or Micro SD card with quality issue is plugged in before or

during the boot up process.

III. Synchronous /Asynchronous Mode

1. Synchronous Mode

Synchronous Mode (default) means t h at th e d up licat or will start t o ex ec ute a tas k after the

source and tar g et devic es h av e been i nsert ed an d the E NT button is pr essed. The t as k w ill
begi n and end at th e sam e time f or all target devic es. Any ot her targ et device plugg ed in
durin g the proces s of a task wi ll n ot be ex ec uted wit h th e t as k.

a. Insert s ourc e device i nt o the s ourc e ch annel an d blan k devices into the target channels

properly. The LCD display will show no source disk when source device is not plugged in

yet, and show the number of target devices inserted when source device plugg ed in .
b. The green LE D wil l be on if the t arg et devic e is pl ug ged in properl y.
c. Selec t t h e tas k from menu, and press E NT butt on to ex ec ut e i t.
d. Duri ng the ex ecut ion pr oc ess, th e status of each targ et devic e c an be chec ked b y using

the ▲ and ▼ buttons.
e. After the task is done, LCD display will show the number of successful and failed

target(s).

2. Asy nchronous Mode

Asynchr onous M ode means th at t he du plic ator will r ead th e dat a f rom s ourc e d evic e int o

system memory buffer and start to execute a task immediately when target device(s)
ins erted . Dupl icator does n ot have t o wait f or all t arget devic e(s) t o be ins erted in order to
start the execution of the task at the same time. No matter the data size of the source device,
