On VideoVisa tapes where this happens, the VideoVisa catalog number appears to the left. * Tapes duplicated in Mexico City had a white number stamped onto the spine indicating the tape length, as well as a sticker under the label with printings like this for example: * Tapes by this company (until 1999 for USA tapes) had the white screen test pattern with a 1000hz tone at the end. On some copies of ''N64: Change the System'', ''City of Angels'', ''Wrongfully Accused'', and ''The Avengers'', it was followed by the static roll of death.

On a few other tapes, it was printed on the side of the tape. * Starting around mid-1999, when the duplicator was fully acquired by [[Vantiva Supply Chain Services\|Technicolor]], the printings became similar to those of the latter. * Until late 1999, shortly after its acquisition by Technicolor, tapes by this duplicator also had the '''BHCP''' codes in the vertical blanking interval like the ones used by [[Deluxe Digital Studios\|Deluxe]] from 1987 to 1996. * Several tapes printed in Mexico during the mid to late '90s also had a silent white screen at the beginning. * Tapes from Alpha Video Distributors, Inc.'s Christmas Classics line had the cassette shell in green. == Gallery == <gallery> File:Central Video.jpg\|Logo for the company's US-based subsidiary from 1996 to 1998 ~~File:Central Video (A Technicolor Company).jpg\|Logo for the company's US-based subsidiary from when Technicolor acquired the company in 1999~~ File:Mooch Goes to Hollywood.jpg File:Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus - Cycles of Intimacy (Men Are Like Rubber Bands) (1996 Genesis Media Group, Inc.).jpg File:City of Angels.jpg File:Wrongfully Accused.jpg Line 80 ⟶ 106: == Locations == * Beverly Hills, California * Calexico, California (1991-????) * Ciudad de México, Distrito Federal * Mexicali, Baja California (1985-1991) == Trivia == * It's believed that RVSA's spinoff of this duplicator c. 1994 resulted from the expiration of a tariff exemption.
