In our organisation we have some experience of CD analysis, but are now moving into DVD, a whole new game. We're considering the Clover Systems DVX optical disc tester. Does anyone have any experience of, or opinions on this? See http://www.cdfreaks.com/news2.php?ID=11615. It's a lot cheaper than other DVD analysing kit - what's missing? Measurements include BLER, E11 to E32, PI, PIF, PO, POF, Beta, Jitter, focus and tracking. Can list members comment on any other analysis equipment? The DVX seems to be based on the CDX tester from the same company, so opinions on that would be welcome too. We have an older Clover machine here, the QA-201, which we've had reservations about, not least that pit geometry measurements need to be made manually with an oscilloscope. Otherwise it's been useful. Thanks Will ...................................................
