Mar 12, 2010, Taipei – ACARD Technology Corp., the worldwide leader in SCSI/IDE/SATA, RAID, and storage solution, today has launched its exclusive R&D effort - the SOC engine with special copy control ability (announced in Dec 2006), which is 100% compatible to HP LightScribe technology. Since the ACARD SOC has the feature of entirely compatible to the USB / standard PCI / Native SATA configuration, therefore, it is 100% compatible to HP-authorized LightScribe patented technology; it can easily support this configuration without having to spend time or pay attention on modifying hardware and software architecture.

Base on the HP free-license principle, ACARD freely feedback consumers by providing LightScribe to them performing product-upgrading task. If you used to purchase ACARD DVD/CD backup controller, if it is the Native SATA DVD/CD-backup controller, the controller can fully support LightScribe after being free updated.

On the other hand, the other brands of DVD/CD controllers using the closed architecture have no such upgrading flexibility; and often need to do a substantial amendment to the hardware and software that would often degrade the system stability, cause system crashes, data backup failure or controller failure. Similar to this on conditional type of support, the potential problems cannot be solved merely via self-modifying or using special software; and other brands of controllers have problems on the compatibility to LightScribe DVD/CD drive and can not be synchronized with the HP official website; various kinds of DVD/CD drives must apply different firmware in order to operate functionally; which makes users unable to be sure which version is the one performing real stability and thus misunderstand that HP's LightScribe is difficult to use; these are all the reasons and distress caused from the incompatibility of closed-end-architecture controller and the HP architecture.

Over the HP original manufacturer’s authorization and technical assistance, under the circumstance of free from hardware changes and software re-design, the ACARD DVD/CD backup controller can 100% support the LightScribe functions within the fastest time that provides consumers free match with the HP LightScribe function in the operation of ACARD DVD/CD backup controller; allowing users to easily and quickly convert the backup DVDs/CDs into files through the simple HP LightScribe cover-page design patterns & titles in a computer and put them into the ACARD DVD/CD backup controller; and easily and quickly create multiple copies of beautiful DVD or CD cover LightScribe burn facilitate to future archive management; user can easily grasp what information are stored in what backup DVD/CD without using a computer to read them over; and thus can perform a time-saving and efficient work.

At present the Blu-ray and DVD’s ACARD DVD/CD controller models that can support HP LightScribe include:
ARS-2053B/ARS-2055B/ARS-2057B/ARS-2050B/ARS-2054B
ARS-2053P/ARS-2055P/ARS-2057P/ARS-2050P/ARS-2054P

These Native SATA models can support LightScribe by using version 1.75 or 2.75 or later version of firmware. Regarding the details of HP LightScribe technology please visit HP website: www.lightscribe.com.
