DDS Keeps Cool during the Hot Season

July 09, 2009

Deluxe Digital Studios (DDS) announced today that with the advent of their high season, they are confident, knowing that they have the ODC Nimbus HDBD Mastering System.

Gregg Johnson, VP Operations, commented, “In its fourth year since installation, The ODC Nimbus HDBD LBR has continued to be the workhorse for our daily production, first for HD-DVD format and currently for the Blu-ray format, and all with minimum downtime and cost. ODC Nimbus LBR has been instrumental in our success meeting the quick product turn around as well as high quality parts requested by our clientele. We are extremely happy with our decision to invest in ODC Nimbus mastering equipment and are looking forward to more business opportunities with ODC Nimbus”.

Marcella Shupe, Microplant Director, commented, “We have been scheduling most of our BD50 and BD25 production through the ODC Nimbus LBR since we know when a master is cut and checked via the in-situ DRAW analysis, it is good. This confidence makes the ODC Nimbus system our choice for critical runs.”

Gary Hung, R&D Engineer, commented, “We have gone through various replication lines and each time we  were able to adjust ODC Nimbus LBR to make the same optimum parts using the new line. The level of control that ODC Nimbus’ DRAW technology provides has been instrumental in achieving best in industry Blu-ray replica quality, with BD50 jitter below 5% and RSER below 2e-5”.
