ODS Germany Buys HDBD LBR
September 27, 2006
ODC Nimbus today announced the sale of their HDBD Mastering System to ODS Optical Disc Service (ODS) of Dassow, Germany. This is the second high-density mastering system sold by ODC Nimbus for the commercial production of both HD-DVD and Blu-ray masters; the first system is being used daily at Deluxe Digital Studios in Burbank, Ca.
Mr. Wilhelm Mittrich, CEO of ODS commented, “We thoroughly investigated the available high-density mastering equipment and chose the ODC Nimbus HDBD system for several reasons. Most important, it produces excellent masters resulting in in-spec, playable discs in both of the next-generation formats. This is critical to us as we need to have that dual capability to satisfy our customers.”
Mr. Mittrich continued, “ODC Nimbus has a track record with this machine and could deliver within our required timeframe. They have many years of experience and a reputation for technical expertise and innovation as well as reliable service and support. All these factors contributed to this decision.”
ODS, the largest optical disc replicator in Europe with an output in excess of 800m discs, is headquartered in Dassow Germany and operates six facilities across that continent. This move into the next-generation of DVD symbolizes their commitment to the future of the optical disc industry and their customers.
Mr. James Wu, President of ODC Nimbus also commented, saying “We are thrilled to be working with ODS, especially with this equipment. They are a very technically-knowledgeable customer and their selection of the ODC Nimbus HDBD LBR validates our concept for HD-DVD and Blu-ray mastering.”
