Overview of MA Server Workflow
Archive
The MA servers are equipped with burners that can create BD and DVD discs. Both MA servers
create ISO files that they use for burning discs.
MA-10
The MA-10 is equipped with an internal, manual DVD and Blu-ray burner.
1. Use the MA-10 to create an ISO file of the intended archive content.
2. Use the separate burning application to manually burn the disc and print the disc label.
MA-50
The MA-50 employs a robotic DVD and BD burner that can be configured to burn multiple
discs using either a burn schedule or on-demand.
In addition, the MA-50 offers the option to create two identical copies of the original disc, one
for active use and one for deep archiving.
Once content is uploaded to the MA and ingested, it can be added to the burning queue and
the burn process begun. Depending on the settings, it is possible to start burning ingested
content while uploading other content.
Archiving Discs and Shortlist Reference Documents
Once the discs are created, two ID codes are automatically assigned to each file:
• A unique File ID
• The archive disc ID, see Identifying Archived Content on page 32
MA Servers are designed for archiving data and are not intended for use in disc production.
