Alera Technologies introduced today at PMA 2004 the DVD/CD Digital Photo Copy Station, the first Memory card to DVD/CD copier, and the first in a family of Desktop Digital Imaging solutions from Alera Technologies. Professional photographers, photo enthusiasts, and commercial photo labs, all can have the ability to store up to 4.7GB of valuable digital photos on one convenient removable disc. Photos stored on optical storage media are recognized as being more secure and far less subject to damage than those stored on a hard disk drive.

The DVD/CD Digital Photo Copy Station incorporates a high speed DVD/CD Recorder that records DVD at 8x and CD at 40x and a built in card reader that supports CF Type I and II, SD, MMC, SM, MS, and MS Pro Digital Memory Card formats to read images directly for quick copying. While it requires no computer to copy Memory Cards to DVD or CD, this Digital Photo Copy Station's DVD/CD recorder can be attached to a computer via USB 2.0 for creating and managing still images, video, audio, and data.

The Alera Technologies DVD/CD Digital Photo Copy Station includes a powerful software suite. Sonic Solutions popular MyDVD, RecordNow! and Simple Backup are included free with purchase providing users with the tools to record and share videos, record audio and data, and backup their PCs the easiest way. Also included is Arcsoft ShowBiz for giving your movies the professional look, MusicMatch Juke box and the Cyberlink PowerDVD Movie Player to easily view your creations.
