Special features of the complete package, which consists of various hardware and software components, are its high degree of automation and the integration of security elements that make copyright infringement practically impossible.
“This is joined by independence from the PC hard drive normally used in the industry to store video files,” adds Primera Managing Director Andreas Hoffmann. If no backup copy exists, many hours of film and photographic material are not lost in one stroke if the hard drive is damaged.” When stored correctly, the durability of optical media is stated as up to around eighty years without the files suffering any loss of quality. However, this figure refers only to artificial ageing processes in laboratory test series.
Imagine’s ShutPut Pro software detects the film files on the memory card. It also controls the connected Primera duplication system directly. The burning robots from the Disc Publisher family or XR series then perform the likewise fully automated burning process. Depending on the device used, up to 400 optical media with a storage capacity of 25 gigabytes (Blu-ray, single layer) or 50 gigabytes (Blu-ray, double layer) can be burned. Individual productions are of course also possible.
Producers can now protect their videos and films on DVD against theft in order to comprehensively protect the file and copyright. Primera’s own PTProtect software provides the hermetic seal, placing a protective capsule around the file during the burning process. According to the manufacturer, no conventional ripping program is currently able to extract the content stored on the optical medium. Playback is not affected because the theft protection is stored in an area of the DVD that playback devices do not read.
