How to Tell

  • Beginning around late 1989, one or two rows of letters and numbers were engraved above the recording tab, like this for example:

T70PX2

LY7102

Starting around 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 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.

Locations

  • Inglewood, California

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. Tapes from both duplicators simply identified the duplicator as CDI.
