DVDemand has developed the DVDGenerator specifically for replicators. Replicators who purchase a DVDGenerator system can
offer on-demand (JIT) production services to their clients. The system can also be used to produce custom CDs and DVDs.
|
|
Replicators using the system will enjoy the following advantages :
Additional revenue stream with high margin of profit
Additional service that can be offered to existing clients
Ability to penetrate new markets
Ability to easily produce single or small series copies of archived masters
Ability to provide online distribution via download or streaming
|
High margin of profit revenue stream
The replication industry has become very competitive in the last several years.
Since most replicators provide the same services, the industry has become very price sensitive,
driving the margin of profit on a replicated disc down to pennies. When producing custom discs,
niche market discs, or very small series, replicators can charge several dollars per disc.
Even with relatively small production volume, replicators can earn large amounts of money.
|
Additional service for existing clients
TReplicators are always trying to provide additional services to their clients.
This helps create additional revenue streams and keeps the customers
satisfied. It is essential for the replicator to help his clients make as
much profit as they can and help them build their business by providing
them with new media distribution solutions. Replicators who fail to add
additional services will eventually loose their clients and loose their
existing revenue streams. The DVDGenerator allows the replicator to provide
excellent services to his clients, keeping their business from going
elsewhere.

New market penetration
Many content owners cannot afford replication of their assets.
Content owners who cater to niche markets cannot justify creating thousands
of discs for each piece of content. When each piece of content is expected
to sell several hundred to thousands of copies, the cost of mastering and
creating a stamper eat up all the profit to be made. The DVDGenerator
provides and excellent solution to these content owners. By providing these
solutions the replicator can enter these niche markets and expand his
business.

Small series production
The DVDGenerator can store every master used to produce discs at the
replication facility. Later on, when a demand comes for additional
copies, the replicator can use the DVDGenerator to produce small
batches of up to several hundred discs, and still save money and the
time it takes to run the large scale replication lines. Furthermore,
the DVDGenerator can be used to provide duplication services,
for copying small batches of discs, a service not possible at
replication plants before.

Distribution via download or streaming
Today, over 90% of the electronic media purchased is distributed on
optical disc of magnetic tape. The Internet is slowly starting to
provide an alternative - electronic distribution. With today's
technology, distribution of video is still unrealistic, but
distribution of other materials including software and audio has
become common. This is a trend that is bound to grow. According to
a research by Forrester,22% of the electronic
media sales in the year 2004 will be via download and streaming.
|
Currently, Internet and Telecommunication companies are battling
on the right to distribute the media electronically. With the
DVDGenerator, replicators will have the ideal vantage point to become
electronic media distributors. Since the DVDGenerator stores and
catalogs all the media, all that is needed to become an online distributor
is to add a streaming component to the system and connect it to the web.
DVDGenerator is the ideal basis for a streaming solution for the following
reasons:
· All the media is digitally stored on the system
· The media is categorized and identified in a database
· The system is economically viable today, due to the ability to produce DVDs
· The system resources can be divided dynamically between streaming and DVD creation.
