Waitec Action 16 Recorder - Page 23

For checking exactly what the Action 16 reports, we used three different media, burned with other recorders. The three media have been measured using 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 at various reading speeds:

• 3~8X CAV
• 2~6X CAV

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!

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







All of the PI error values reported by the Action 16 differ completely from the values reported by SA300. The PIF graphs produced by the Action 16 and SA300 are close but not the same. As for the trend lines, the ones given by the Action 16 don't match the ones given by SA300. Overall, a different outcome altogether.
