Ultera Choses NewWave To Distribute Its New DVD-R MultiMaster
Ultera Systems has made another move to immediately position the company in the DVD marketplace. Ultera has signed an agreement with NewWave Technologies as a national distributor for the company's new DVD-R MultiMaster, the most versatile DVD mastering solution available for short-run DVD duplication. Ultera's DVD-R array controller allows up to 12 SCSI-based DVD-R drives to be connected to a single host, creating 12 DVD copies in the time it usually takes to record just one, making the Ultera DVD-R MultiMaster the most economical solution to create multiple DVD-Audio, Video or data disks. NewWave Technologies is a leading nationwide distributor of digital video, mass storage and document imaging solutions. Under terms of the new distribution deal, the company will offer the Ultera DVD-R MultiMaster, along with Pioneer DVD-R drives and mastering software, to its extensive network of VARs nationwide. The rapid maturation of the DVD market, with accompanying price decreases in recordable DVD drives, is expected to accelerate the market transformation from recordable CD technology to DVD in the year 2000. DVD-R's relatively low cost per megabyte, coupled with its physical storage efficiency - approximately six times the capacity of CD-ROM - and the portability of its recording equipment makes the medium applicable to a large variety of uses in virtually all industries in three key applications areas: testing and development of DVD masters before they are sent out for mass duplication, small-scale distribution of DVD content and archival data storage similar to CD-R.
