5-inch CDsThe standard size CD-ROM (5.0”) is a proven and logical choice:
it is easily read on any computer CD reader, allows you to quickly
disseminate a significant volume of content (up to 700 Mb) directly
to the user, and may be produced to include musical pieces that may
be read on standard CD players. Still the most popular product used
in replication / duplication today. |
||
3-inch CDsDue to its reduced size, the 3.0” CD-ROM attracts its fair share of attention. Its reduced size does not however prevent the device from offering significant storage capacity (capacities up to 185 Mb). Keep in mind that this type of CD-ROM may only be read on “drawer” type readers and may not be inserted into “slot” readers. |

Shaped CDs
Shaped CD-ROMs are standard CD-ROMs cut into different shapes (relating to disk content or issuer) using a form punch. This allows a brewing company, for instance, to produce an interactive CD-ROM in the shape of a beer can, or an association to reproduce a storage device in the shape of its logo. The capacity of shaped CD-ROMs varies depending on the available surface following the cutting process. This type of CD-ROM may only be read on “drawer” type readers and may not be inserted into “slot” readers.
DVD, DVD-R/W and DVD-ROM
There are three different DVD types, differentiated by their respective capacities.
DVD-5
Has only one side and a single layer. Capacity: 4.7 Gb. May be silkscreened on one side.
DVD-9
Has only one side (and may be silkscreened), but has two layers, which allows it to hold 8.5 Gb (“Dual-layer”).
DVD-10
Two-sided, with only one layer on each side, it holds 9.4 Gb.
Cannot be silkscreened : information appear on a thin strip in the
middle of disc.
Their high capacity explains why DVDs are used for movies. In
addition to standard DVD content that may be viewed on the
television, DVD-ROMs may include multimedia applications and various
other elements designed for specific use on a computer (encyclopaedia,
data, software…).
Up to 8.5 Gb of content may be stored on a single DVD-ROM, and DVD-Rs
with custom-made silkscreening are more and more used for back up
purposes, since files (such as digital pictures) are becoming larger
and lager.

DualDiscDualDisc is a two-sided CD: the face of
the device is a standard CD-ROM while
the reverse is a DVD. Two storage media
on the same device! |
|
|
This type of disk may be used by artists,
for example, to provide standard stereo
recordings of their songs on the face of
the disk (CD) while the over side (DVD)
may be used to store videos, a filmed
live performance or songs recorded in
Dolby 5.1 surround sound. Consult the ibridTM,
technology (developed by Nexun) section
on this site… DualDisc and ibridTM - imagine the power of these two technologies combined! |

USB Flash DrivesStandard computers now typically provide a USB port on the face of the unit, facilitating connection to portable devices such as MP3 players, digital cameras and Flash memory cards. The USB Flash Drives has taken advantage of this feature, and its reduced size, to carve its position in the storage device market. Capacities of this type of storage device are ranging from 128 Mb to more than 8 Gb. |
|
|
|
Since prices for this kind of support have dropped down, it is now
more conceivable to use them on a commercial or promotional basis.
Moreover, since USB Flash Drives are
still new and attractive, they catch attention. Les USB Flash Drives can be silkscreened and may be subjected to a replication / duplication process as well as they may also be delivered “empty”. Many USB Flash Drives models are offered, in a choice of colours, lanyards and clips. |
