1. INTRODUCTION

The Athena series duplicator is a stand-alone CD/DVD Disc Duplicator Controller that provides support for up to 7 CD/DVD discs. There are 8 IDE ports on the controller and each IDE port is independent from one another. Therefore, the controller can control several CD/DVD devices at the same time. The drives do not have to be of the same brand or speed. The controller can support up to 7 discs duplicating simultaneously at maximum 56x CD writing and 16X

DVD writing speeds

The easy-to-use operating control panel consists of a LCD screen and 4 buttons. All operating messages and information, such as the function list, instructions, operating status, or error message(s), will display in real time on the screen.

The built-in Hard Drive will allow users to load many CD/DVD Master Source Discs onto the HDD as source disc images. Loading a disc image onto the HDD will reduce the risk of damaging the Source Disc due to heavy duplicating jobs. An intelligent and dynamic HDD management system will dynamically assign HDD partitions to each CD/DVD disc image loaded onto the HDD according to their actual capacity requirement. This smart HDD manager will ensure a flexible and efficient HDD management.
