==How to Tell==
* Most tapes duplicated at Allied Digital have a numeric code on the vertical-blanking interval of the screen at the beginning and end of it, akin to how tapes duplicated at Technicolor in the West Coast area begin. On tapes from 1992 to 1995, the vertical blanking interval has a date in the code, and begins with either "AFV TN," "AFV," "AFVTN", "AAFVTN" or "@FVTN". Starting around mid-late 1995, this same code started with "ADT." In late 1995, the code changed to a different code like this for example: "ADT8011161:07," with the code sometimes instead beginning with "ADT04." However, on tapes encoded with Macrovision, the Macrovision signal blocks all but the top of the code.
* Several tapes use oversized reels, while some use regular reels.
* Early tapes from this duplicator had dark printings above the recording tab spot, like these two examples:

Example 1:

'''11-227-120-M'''

Example 2:

'''23-76-T30-M'''

Example 3:

'''332-3-T60'''

* Post-1993 tapes duplicated at Allied Digital have a day-year code, as well as a print time. In addition, there would also be a name of the release, a nominal length, and/or a serial code. Sometimes, the day-year code and time are on the side.
* Some tapes with the "ADT80" codes have the static roll of death at the end, while some with the "ADT04" code have shuffling color/black and white bars and/or color static.
* Some tapes had dark printings on the bottom middle side, which were laid out like this for example:

'''T-115 B-003-008 22:21-150-02 MN'''

* Post-2004 EP mode tapes from this duplicator had different printings, which were laid out like this for example:


'''C SPR 111-05 W.O.69474'''


Tapes with printings like these do not have anything in the vertical blanking interval.
