The iDS is the only system on the market which can play back DVD and Blu-ray movies by correlating it to a known defect area on the disc, making it a cost-effective system for the early detection of defects on DVD's and BD's. The development of this new product was driven by the demand for cost reduction and increased efficiency in the production of Optical Media.
