USB 2.0 CONNECTION FOR TOWER DUPLICATORS

This handy accessory for the Accutower / AV Pro duplicators allows you to use the bottom drive of the duplicator as an external burner. The USB connector easily links the duplicator to your computer (either PC or MAC), and with the a flip of the switch enables the external drive.

Q. Why would I need the USB connector for my DVD/CD Accutower?
A. Our USB connector enables the DVD/CD Accutower duplicator to be connected to your computer to control one DVD/CD recorder mounted inside the duplicator as an external DVD/CD recording device. All you would need is a computer equipped with a USB port and the correct cable for the connection and the suitable DVD/CD creation software. This allows you to use one of the existing drives in the tower as a mastering drive for creation of your master disc. this solves the problem of having to have a separate burner installed into your PC, Mac or notebook.

Q. Can I send the master image or ISO file over to the duplicator with this connection?
A. Unfortunately, no. Each Accutower is a standalone duplicator, this connection only allows the use of the one recording drive when connected to your computer. Think of it as an easy to use external drive to have when needed, all you do is flip the switch to turn on the connection and the drive can be used to record from the computer. You can only use the drive when the duplicator is not currently using the connected drive.
