THE DISC STAMPER IS A MASTER COPY TOOL USED TO PHYSICALLY STAMP REPLICA DATA DISCS FROM A STREAM OF EXTRUDED PLASTIC. THE STAMPER FACE CONTAINS A NUMBER OF GROOVES THAT CAN BE INTERPRETATED BY A SPECIFIC DATA PROCESSING MACHINE TO GIVE A SERIES OF BINARY INFORMATION. WHEN THE DISC IS PUNCHED OUT, IT IS IMPREGNATED WITH THE SAME GROOVES PROVIDING THE SAME BINARY DATA. IN THIS CASE THE DATA TRANSFERRED PROVIDES THE USER WITH INTERACTIVE SOUND, IMAGES AND INSTRUCTIONS. IT IS DESIGNED AS A MASTER FOR SPECIFIC GAMES APPLICATION WHERE EACH GAME HAS A UNIQUE SET OF BINARY INFORMATION AND AS SUCH REQUIRES A SPECIFIC DISC STAMPER FOR THE PRODUCTION OF THAT SPECIFIC TITLE. EACH STAMPER CAN REPLICATE MANY DISCS BUT EVENTUALLY WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED.
