Cinram, Olyphant, PA

American optical disc manufacturing plant in Olyphant, Pennsylvania, owned by . Operated under this name from 2003 to 2015.

This plant was acquired from [l=WEA Manufacturing] in October 2003, and had previously consisted of two separate divisions: CD manufacturer [l=WEA Mfg. Olyphant] and DVD manufacturer [l=WAMO].

In November 2015, [l=Technicolor] bought Cinram's North American operations and renamed the plant .

[b]Plant Indicators[/b]
As the successor to [l=WEA Mfg. Olyphant], Cinram, Olyphant, PA inherited their SID codes, and used the same matrix structure for its production.

[u][i][b]• Pressed By = Cinram, Olyphant, PA[/i][/b][/u]
A [b]mould SID code[/b] of [b]IFPI 2U**[/b], or a machine-stamped "[b]CI[/b]", indicates that the disc was pressed at Cinram, Olyphant, PA.
(example: [r973706])

[u][i]CAUTION: Pressed By = [l=Cinram, Commerce, CA][/i][/u]
A [b]mould SID code[/b] of [b]IFPI 2V**[/b], or a machine-stamped "[b]CI/CA[/b]", indicates that the disc was pressed at the 'sister' plant [l=Cinram, Commerce, CA].
(example: [r12025137])

[b][u][i]• Pressed By = Cinram, Olyphant, PA
• Glass Mastered At = [l=WEA Mfg. Olyphant][/i][/b][/u]
Some CDs pressed at this plant may be represses of earlier [l=WEA Mfg. Olyphant] glass masters. They typically have [b]wea mfg. OLYPHANT[/b] in the mirror band, along with an etched "[b]CI[/b]".
(example: original [l=WEA Mfg. Olyphant] pressing [r=200046] and Cinram, Olyphant, PA repress using WEA Mfg. glass master [r=10385696])

[u][b][i]• Glass Mastered At = Cinram, Olyphant, PA[/i][/b][/u]
When the release has a [b]mastering SID code[/b] of [b]ifpi L901[/b], [b]L902[/b], [b]L903[/b], [b]L906[/b], [b]L907[/b], [b]L908[/b] or [b]L909[/b] and lacks any mention of [l=wea mfg. OLYPHANT] in the mirror band.

[b]Company Catalog Number[/b]
From 1996, when the plant was known as [l=WEA Mfg. Olyphant], and continuing with Cinram, Olyphant, PA, catalog numbers were added to the matrix of CDs and DVDs manufactured at this plant. These catalog numbers begin with the letter [b]X[/b], [b]Y[/b] or [b]Z[/b], and are followed by a [b]1-[/b] to [b]6-digit number[/b]. These alpha-numeric catalog numbers should only be entered at Glass Mastered field.

[b][u]DVDs[/b][/u]
Cinram also acquired WEA Manufacturing's DVD manufacturing division , located as the same premises as the CD division WEA Mfg. Olyphant. DVDs manufactured under Cinram have the following matrix layout:

Layer A: [release-specific information].1.A Vxnn MnSn
Layer B: [release-specific information].1.B Vxnn MnSn

The second character in 'Vxnn' is determined by the mastering SID code:
L906 --> VAnn
L907 --> VBnn
L908 --> VCnn

[b][u]Blu-ray[/b][/u]
Blu-ray discs (BDs) manufactured at the plant follow a similar layout to DVDs:

Layer A: LY0* M/D/YYYY [release-specific information].1.A Vxnn
Layer B: LY0* M/D/YYYY [release-specific information].1.B Vxnn

--> LY0* is the mastering SID code
--> M/D/YYYY is probably the day that the glass master was created

The second character in 'Vxnn' is determined by the mastering SID code:
LY01 --> VDnn
LY02 --> VEnn

[b][u]2015 Releases[/b][/u]
In 2014, Cinram closed its Canadian optical disc plant, from which manufacturing equipment was relocated to US plants including Olyphant. The matrix pattern and mastering SID codes found on discs with mould SID code IFPI 2U** change significantly after February 2015, probably thanks to new glass mastering equipment transferred from the Canadian facility. From February 2015, the CD matrix information found on Cinram discs more closely follows the style already used on DVDs and BDs.

Matrix/Runout: [release-specific information] Axnn MnSn
Mastering SID code: IFPI L247, LT36, LT40
Mould SID code: IFPI 2U**

The second character in 'Axnn' is determined by the mastering SID code:
L908 --> ACnn
LT36 --> AFnn
LT40 --> AGnn
L247 --> AHnn

On enhanced CDs, 'Axnn' is replaced by 'ECDnn' or 'ECDxnn' where x corresponds to the glass master character C/F/G/H as described above.

Examples:
[r7982750]
[r7376896]

Please note that this same matrix scheme was continued by from November 2015 until the plant's closure in 2018, so Cinram, Olyphant should only be identified and credited based on this scheme for releases with a confirmed release date prior to November 2015.
