Deluxe takes pride in our team of experts who have revolutionized the DVD production process since the inception of Standard Definition DVD in 1997. We work with state-of-the-art compression and authoring systems and are committed to remaining on the forefront of new technology.

The Deluxe Technology Center is a fully integrated, secure supply chain which includes check disc services, source distribution, and high definition testing with our CEA services in Burbank. The incorporation of check disc services with an independent verification lab enables Deluxe to deliver a "certified" check disc to studio clients. This full integration dramatically reduces the number of facilities and personnel with access to studio content. This is a major step in fighting piracy.

The Censorship Approval Department (CAD) gives clients the ability to send out censorship tapes and DVDs, including PR screeners, produced simultaneous to the compression, encoding, and authoring process within the same facility. This shortens the approval time because as sources are received they are formatted and turned around for censorship certification within days. The Deluxe CAD department can also provide dubbing as requested.

Deluxe Digital Studios (Deluxe) is the world's leader in authoring, compression, subtitling and related services for the home entertainment industry. Product support includes DVD and Blu-ray, along with a variety of digital download formats.

In support of these services, Deluxe also provides disc mastering and check discs in the Microplant, a small-scale optical disc facility located within its authoring headquarters in Burbank. The Microplant serves as Hollywood's leading test facility for CD, DVD, and Blu-ray physical specifications. The facility also provides several security, supply chain, and R&D benefits to clients.
