PoINT Software & Systems Released Publisher NG 4.0

The software PoINT Publisher NG 4.0 from PoINT Software & Systems GmbH is available and offers inter alia an automated extraction of data of CD, DVD or Blu-ray discs by disc publishing systems.

Another function is the ‘Batch-Writer’ – module for the processing of media batches consisting of master discs and blank media as well as support of Windows 8 and 8.1.

PoINT Software & Systems offers a hardware-independent software for professional disc production with integrated label printing. Besides production jobs creating a specified number of copies including printing derived of a master disc, users can create media by the ECR module (Event Controlled Recording) using simple file copy functions over the network. To fulfill special requirements for a flexible integration into applications a batch interface is available as Software Development Kit (SDK).

The manufacturer has focused its product development on further automation capabilities with disc publishing systems. The result is the ‘bulk reader’ which is integrated in the software and offers functions for extracting the contents of CD/DVD/Blu-ray discs in an automated manner on local HDD or a NAS system. The complete process is logged in detail. Data extracted from media can be stored both as directory structure and as image file.

Furthermore media batches consisting of master discs and blank media can be processed automatically by the ‘Batch Writer’ module. During job processing PoINT Publisher NG imports data from a master disc and copies the data to all blank media following. The process is repeated on the occurrence of the next master disc.

Besides these improvements this version covers support for Windows 8 and 8.1 (Pro and Enterprise).
