–New Copy Master II Line Can Duplicate DVDs up to 16X,8.5 GB Dual Layered DVDs up to 4X and CDs up to 48X–

Campbell, Calif. –June, 2005 – Octave Systems, Inc. a leading technology innovator, today unveiled its new line of Copy Master II CD/DVD duplicators, allowing educational and government institutions to quickly and efficiently duplicate courses or seminars onto CDs and DVDs.

Inspired by the technology behind the original and successful Copy Master line, the user-friendly Copy Master II has outstanding speed, storage capacity and quality. This next generation product offers tower-style models that can provide 1-to-9, 1-to-7, 1-to-5, 1-to-3, and 1-to-1 duplication depending on the user’s needs and can duplicate DVDs up to 16X, 8.5 GB Dual Layered DVDs up to 4X and CDs up to 48X.

As specific examples of its speed, a nine-drive Copy Master II can produce nine full 4.7 GB DVDs in seven minutes, and nine full 650 MB CDs can be produced in three minutes. It can duplicate standard 120mm CDs and DVDs, but also several of the popular business-card shaped discs and mini CD/DVD formats.

A significant new addition to the Copy Master II is the quick-start Auto Copy feature, which allows users to load up the master and blanks and start the duplication process by pressing the new Copy button. There are four additional convenience buttons – Copy, Test, Speed and Source. The Copy button allows the user to quickly and conveniently begin the duplication process. The Test button tests the copy process without actually writing to the media. The Speed button sets the speed of the copy. The Source button changes the master source of the information the user wants copied from the DVD-ROM or CD-ROM to the hard disc.

“The Copy Master II line will allow educational institutions to rapidly turn around the duplication of seminars, speeches, or presentations, and will make it easy to sell or give away CDs or DVDs to people as they leave the event,” said Paul Avery, Octave’s Marketing Manager.

In addition, the Copy Master II also features the largest buffer memory (128 MB) in the industry; a 160 GB hard drive, also the largest in the industry; password protection for different users; hard disk drive partition naming, allowing a user to name the images stored in hard drive partitions; multiple language displays; DVD drive firmware upgradeable by the controller; enhanced firmware in the controller that speeds duplication; better cooling through use of an aluminum case; and an auto counter that keeps running totals of successful copies and failed copies.
