Waitec Action 16 Recorder - Page 20

For checking exactly what the Action 16 reports, we used three different media, burned with other recorders. The three media have been measured with the well known AudioDev SA300 DVD CATS system at 1X.

The drive is capable of reporting PI/PIF errors, so we will compare those measurements for various reading speeds:

• 3~8X CAV
• 2~6X CAV
• 4X CLV

Please note that the posted results are only valid for the specific tested Waitec Action 16 drive. Using other drives, even another Action 16 , can produce totally different results. Be aware!

#1st Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 8X Reading speed

The PI/PIF error rate trend differs from that of the SA300, while the error values are close, more or less.

#1st Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 6X Reading speed

In this case the PI error trend line is similar to that of the SA300, while the PIF trend line differs near the end of the reading. Error values are petty much similar.

#1st Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 4X Reading speed

At 4X speed, we can clearly see a similar PI/PIF trend rate line and once again the same error values, somewhat lower than the ones reported by the SA300.
