Pulstec has introduced two new "Blu-ray Stamper Evaluation Systems" part of company's MASTER electrical signal series of testers. This new test equipment is designed specifically for Stamper evaluation; featuring reliable performance, compact size, and the same software designed for the BD MASTER.

"Standardizing key optical components in our entire MASTER series means testers give excellent correlation between systems. The option to swap between stamper and replica testing is quick and easy," Pulstec said in a statement.

The Japanese company unveiled two new models:

SBP-03 (for BD-ROM / R / RE Stampers)
For stampers requiring a temporary, easy to remove, cover layer, Pulstec provides 2 options either spin coating or film coating methods. This system provides the option to test stampers and replicas.

SBP-03-CN (for BD-R / RE Stampers)
This systems unique feature is that stampers do not require a cover layer as Pulstec has designed a special PUH with surface focusing lens feature. (This is not suitable for BD-ROM stampers and BD discs in our experience)
