Introducing the next level in standalone duplication towers, the network capable SharkNet™. The SharkNet™ is not only the most advanced duplicator on the market, but is extremely simple to use. With the ability to connect to any PC within a given network offers convenience and security for any size office environment. The network connectivity feature means the SharkNet™ does not require the person loading the file(s) be near or even in the same room as the duplicator. This allows a company to keep any quantity of manual tower duplicators in a safe optimal environment where users can transfer files directly onto the duplicator as apposed to the longer and more time consuming process of generating a master disc then loading it into the duplicator manually. Plus, by being able to sequester the SharkNet™ duplicator into a secure environment, where only authorized personnel can access it, provides a security feature preventing general employees from being able to make copies of unauthorized sensitive or confidential files. With the ability to copy all CD configurations, all DVD configurations including Dual/Double Layer discs, and print LightScribe* files, the SharkNet™ is the perfect solution for your duplication needs. The easy to operate control panel offers many advanced features such as; AutoCopy, Load and Copy, Account Management, Hard Drive Partition Naming, and much much more. The SharkNet™ offers the largest memory buffer of any unit available today with 128MB on our standard models on special models. Beyond the attractive look of this powerful duplicator, the aluminum casing provides the highest protection against heat and dust, two of the most dangerous elements for a duplicator. This allows the unit to provide optimal performance for an extended period of time.

Enhanced Load and Copy Supported: For better efficiency and the best duplication quality. EnhancedLoad & Copy is a way to load the master disc on to the Hard Drive while simultaneously copying on to the blank media in the writer drives at the same time for the first run. All other copies will be created from the hard drive for the highest quality. This will greatly speed up the duplication process. It works as shown in the below diagram: More Synchronous Loading...

Added Shipping Protection: All duplicators are double packed as shown below with twice as much thick packing foam and cardboard. A) Strong cardboard outer box to protect the interior box with the duplicator. B) Interior box for the duplicator which is stored inside protective foam and boxed in sturdy cardboard. C) Two separate interior supports for the inside box which are made of thick sturdy cardboard and 5 large dense foam supports. More packing information..

What LightScribe is LightScribe is an innovative technology that uses a special disc drive, special media, and label-making software to burn labels directly onto CDs and DVDs. Because the labels are laser-etched-not printed-there's no ink, no smudging, and no peeling. Your labels can be whatever you want them to be. Create one-of-a-kind designs with your own photos, text, and artwork or choose from the many free backgrounds provided using the special edition Template Labeler software included with every LightScribe capable duplicator. You may also visit LightScribe's Template Label Gallery, or the Label Gallery for free downloadable designs. How Lightscribe Works: STEP 1: CREATE LIGHTSCRIBE LABEL DISC STEP 2: PRINT LIGHTSCRIBE LABEL 1. Burn the image label you created from the saved file on your computer onto a CD. (Please note that the LightScribe software is only compatible with a PC and not recognized on an Apple computer) 2. Place that CD into the reader drive of the SharkCopier LS duplicator. 3. Load LightScribe capable discs with the label side down in all of the writer drives. 4. Using the menu on the duplicator's LCD, choose and execute the "Print" function. 5. Burn your LightScribe label directly onto the discs in all the writer drives at the same time. 6. Remember, the same drive that burns your label burns your data, too. Benefits Of Lightscribe Duplicator: The SharkCopier LS allows the user to both copy data, audio or video files onto the data side of recordable CD's or DVD's, but also can print directly onto the label side of LightScribe capable CD's and DVD's. This is all done in a single standalone manual tower duplicator where all the drives will print or duplicate simultaneously for a faster superior end product. All of this is done without the need to connect to a PC, refill ink cartridges/thermal ribbon, or a masters degree in mechanical engineering. The SharkCopier LS is so easy to use and offers such exceptional print and duplication quality, that anyone can use one!

About Copy Protection Vinpower Digital has developed the first true standalone duplicator which can offer embedded copy protection. The unique Copy Protection Software (CPS) can embed a proprietary copy protection encryption into any DVD video master through a PC which can then be transferred onto the Vinpower Digital duplicator to produce as many copy protected reproductions as the user needs. Since CPS is software based as apposed to hardware based, there are no issues with compatibility with players like similar models on the market. In addition, CPS protects against both duplication and ripping for a double dose of protection whereas similar applications from competitors cannot block ripping. In today’s savvy hi-tech world, consumers are often purchasing a single video and making copies for their friends which limit the overall sales. If you worked hard and put in a lot of effort and expense into creating your video project, you shouldn’t be restricted in the number of units you can sell because you can’t afford the high price of replicated copy protection. Instead by using Vinpower Digital’s CPS, you can feel secure at a fraction of the expense and time with no minimum or maximum quantities required. How Copy Protection Works: 1. Load the supplied CPS software onto a suitable PC. 2. Plug in the CPS USB dongle with activated licenses into your PC’s USB socket. 3. Take your DVD video master disc or file and by utilizing the special CPS application, follow the steps to embed the copy protection onto the master content. 4. Transfer the new copy protected master content from the PC onto an enabled duplicator via USB/Copy Connect or LAN/Network connectivity. 5. Load blank DVD recordable discs into the duplicator’s writer drive(s) then locate the transferred file through the duplicator’s menu keys from the internal hard drive 6. Initiate the copy process and when the finished discs all successfully copy, these discs will have the copy protection already embedded.
