How to Tell
- Beginning around 1990, one or two rows of letters and numbers were engraved above the recording tab, like this for example:
T70PX2
LY7102
Starting around late 1998, tapes from this duplicator only had one row of letters and numbers engraved. In addition, the font was changed (e.g. T82PX1). While this happened a few times before late 1998, this is when it became permanent.
- Tapes by this duplicator have printings on the tape guard, or sometimes the bottom middle side. It would appear like this for example:
W.O.8504
SILLYVILLE
PASS 3 SLAVE 976
- A few earlier tapes instead had a sticker with similar information on it on the bottom middle side, like this for example:
W.O.#18441W
HOLIDAY
Slave #V SP Pass 3
- Some RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video tapes duplicated by this company had a black screen test pattern with a 1133hz tone at the end.
- Some tapes by this duplicator also had a long black screen at the end, usually lasting between three and nine minutes.

The printings you see above the recording tab spot were also used on most earlier tapes by the company as well, although different duplicators that worked with Media Home Entertainment and Video Treasures used these kind of printings on some of their tapes from 1988-1989 as well.

Trivia
- When Rick Hively left in 1999 to form Media Management Services, he took Trinity Broadcasting's duplication contract with him.
- Feature Films for Families also duplicated On Our Own at another duplicator with the CDI initialism, CDI Media (formerly known as Cassette Duplicators Incorporated). Tapes from both duplicators simply identified the duplicator as CDI.
