Introduction
In the years since MF Digital designed it’s first CD duplicator, the need for a new breed of
CD/DVD duplicator has come to the fore. One that can serve as an enterprise wide network
enabled CD / DVD disc-on-demand system. An automated system capable of not only CD /
DVD duplication but also creating unique discs, providing mastering, and in-line printing
direct to disc for easy identification. It was with this in mind that MF Digital designed the
Director.
MF Digital brings fully automated “Disc-on-Demand” to your network with Director. The
Director is the most advanced network based CD / DVD production system available. Here’s
why:
• Up to four CD-R or DVD-R drives with up to 600 disc input / output capacity.
• Definable user profiles allow for fully controllable access.
• Full production, error, and usage logging
• Free client software can submit jobs to the Director from down the hall or from
across the Internet. Unlimited clients!
• Intelligent job queuing, prioritizing, and polling
• MF Digital's EasiAPI, an easily accessible API for integrating into other software
applications allows full control of the Director by simply editing three ASCII text
files
• Powerful asynchronous recording technology allows up to 4 independent jobs to be
processed simultaneously with in-line “direct-to-disc” printing on the surface of the
CD or DVD
