DVD transfer system
DVDTransfer is a complete turnkey solution based on Spruce's own unique software and the outstanding MPX3000 encoder. Designed for easy integration into machine rooms and dubbing environments, the DVDTransfer hardware includes a rackmount PC and keyboard in a pullout tray. A DVD-R drive and analog input connection box are available as options.
Operation is literally one touch. You configure the settings as desired then press "Start". A progress bar displays along the bottom of the menu. Once the operation is completed, a dialog displays letting you know it is finished. Clicking it's "Done" button closes the DVDTransfer application.
