Share the fun over the network
Sounds very nice, doesn’t it?
Shared Network Writer(s)
Share up to two writing drives over the
network.
After
installing
DiscJuggler
Professional Edition on the host system,
the writing drives can be used by any client
system on the network.
Many things involving audio
DiscJuggler features many features for digital
audio and Audio CDs. You can duplicate,
extract, pre-master, and mix audio content
for a variety of needs. MP3, WAV, and WMA
(Windows Media) files can be used as the
source data for Audio CDs, but also can be
generated from Audio CDs.
Client systems are able to access the host
system through the Padus Network Console;
available in DiscJuggler Network Edition,
DiscJuggler
Professional
Edition,
and
DiscJuggler.NET.
Save on hardware spending costs
In the same way that printers can be shared
over the network for more than one computer
to use, CD and DVD writing drives can be
shared in the same simple manner. Instead of
buying the latest DVD burner for each person
in the small office or home, buy one on a
single system and share it using DiscJuggler
Professional Edition. All the other systems
need is the free DiscJuggler Network Edition
to utilize the shared drive.
A lot to do with 4.7 gigabytes
Digital Versatile Discs
DiscJuggler includes the ability to write to
the newer Digital Versatile Disc formats.
DVD-RAM, DVD±R, and DVD±RW drives are all
supported in DiscJuggler. With current disc
writing standards, up to 4.7 gigabytes of data
can be written to one disc.
Proper labeling
With the use of the CDDB service, freedb.org,
DiscJuggler can retrieve label information
from known Audio CDs and convert that
information into CD-TEXT or for use in the ID
tags for MP3 and WMA files.
Highest level of accuracy
The best results will be heard after using
DiscJuggler, with support to read and write
PQ (index points and variable gap size), read
and write R-W (CD+G/Karaoke CD) sub-code
data, and manage on-the-fly audio stream resynchronization.

Padus products are known for the perfection
that can be achieved when duplicating and
creating compilations of various audio disc
types, including CD+G (Karaoke).
Tasks giving you what you need
Always the latest
Padus developers are constantly working with
the latest technology, sometimes far earlier
than the rest of the market. Our products
featured Digital Versatile Disc capabilities
before most of the industry and it was only
fine-tuned from there.
Quite compatible
Our products were the first to the market
with full Universal Disk Format (UDF) filesystem compatibility. Tested with the
Matsushita Electrical Industrial Co., Ltd
tool, our technology offers the highest level
of compatibility with all DVD playback and
reading devices on the market.
Create new CDs allows you to drag-and-drop
files from any source to a layout for writing to
CD writing drives. You can create audio, data,
mixed-mode, bootable, and other types of
Compact Discs.
Create new DVDs provides drag-and-drop
functionality for files from any source to a
layout for writing to DVD burners.
Create MP3s, WMAs, WAVs, and CD
compilations gives you the ability to extract
tracks from Audio CDs to various audio file
types, or create compilation discs.
Copy CDs or DVDs from the same burner
can utilize the same writing drive for
duplicating discs. Once the task has been
started, DiscJuggler will read the master to
a temporary image file and then write that
image file to disc(s). With an autoloader, this
task will function as your “batch” duplication
solution for copying multiple masters to any
number of blank discs.
a
Copy CDs and DVDs on-the-fly duplicates discs
in a drive-to-drive fashion, using one drive for
writing and another drive for reading.
Create CD and DVD images is a process to
save whole discs to universal disc image file
formats. These files can be saved anywhere
for future use.
Burn CD and DVD images is used with disc
images created in the “Create CD and DVD
images” task or compatible image files
obtained elsewhere and write them to disc(s)
using this task.

sharing writing drives over network
to any system running one of many
client interfaces.
Laptop (without local writing drive) sending
complete disc image to shared writer(s)
over the network.
CD/DVD image file writing accelerator for autoloaders.
A special application developed solely for the purpose of high-speed writing of disc image files.
Each writing drive is treated individually, making sure that no drive sits idle while jobs are still
in queue.
Dynamic features for accelerated
disc image writing
Queue disc image files
Disc image files can be queued for completely
unattended disc duplication and printing with
your autoloading hardware.
Maximize system throughput
The efficiency of your autoloading system is
at maximum, due to the algorithm developed
for the writing process. Each drive is handled
on an individual basis, so when a drive is
available to start the next disc image file for
duplication, it will be used.
Change demand as demand changes
The priority of each disc image file can be
changed while the autoloader is already in
processing mode. ImageJuggler will remember
what it needs to complete as it adjusts to the
change in priority selected by you.
Fast disc recognition
Blank media is detected as fast as physically
possible by the writing drive and the writing
process begins immediately afterwards.
Complete interface
The
interface
for
ImageJuggler provides
an outlet to all possible
features that one would
want to use. Buffer
under-run prevention,
sub-codes,
writing
modes, and much more
is all available in the
single page window of
the interface.
Fastest performance
The physical system
memory can be used to
increase
performance
of the data transfer to
writing drives, providing
the fastest data path.
Multi-tasking on demand
Multiple jobs can be run at the same time, so
a partial batch of each disc can be ready as
early as they are needed.
DiscJuggler.NET
™
CD/DVD duplication and mastering over the network.
The first software providing small businesses, departments, offices, or whole corporations with
a powerful networking solution for optical disc writing.
Save hardware spending costs
Multiple functional interfaces
Network solutions are cheaper
In the same way that printers can be shared
over the network for more than one computer
to use, CD and DVD writing drives can be
shared in the same simple manner.
Familiar interface with all the same tasks
The tested and true DiscJuggler interface can
still be used for this quite different use. All of
the same tasks for disc creation, duplication,
and extraction are available for use just with
Padus Network Servers.
Network printers obtained their purpose
when businesses realized that higher-quality
prints could be achieved through more a more
expensive, but centralized printer. A large
percentage of desks did not require single-use
printers, so a significant amount of savings
was found by purchasing full-feature printers
that could work over the network.
The network technologies in DiscJuggler.NET
provide businesses with the same notion.
Instead of deploying CD and DVD writing drives
to each system, a high-end hardware solution
for disc writing can be built in centralized
locations for consistent use by multiple client
systems.
images” task or compatible image files
obtained elsewhere and send them on their
way to the Padus Network Server.
Specialized interface for network use
The Padus Network Console provides job
management, administrative controls, but
also the ability to send disc image files directly
to the Padus Network Server. All server
activities, configuration, and operations are
available through this tiny application.
Create new CDs creates new Compact Disc
layouts that will be sent to the server for
immediate writing.
Completely functional web interface
Padus is the first company to incorporate a
fully functional web interface for this type of
network solution. Through a series of pages
and based on user permissions, disc images
can be sent, jobs can be managed, and the
server can be administered.
Create new DVDs is used to create Digital
Versatile Disc layouts that will be written by
the server.
Copy CDs and DVDs on-the-fly duplicates
discs in a drive-to-drive fashion, using any
local drive for reading and the Padus Network
Server for writing.
The end result for every company
Burn CD and DVD images is used with disc
images created in the “Create CD and DVD
Your office needs this technology
Much in the same way that network printers are
used for cost-saving in business environments,
DiscJuggler.NET builds a structure for sharing
CD and DVD writing drives over the network to
any system. This holds true even with systems
that do not contain a single disc drive; only a
network connection is needed.
Optical disc savings
Your business gets higher quality CD and
DVD production at a lower cost, thanks
to centralized robotic hardware using
the best drives the industry has to offer.
DiscJuggler.NET not only offers a rich
architecture, but also less of your money and
time. Isn’t that everything?
Control the use of resources
A day in the life of DiscJuggler.NET
Productivity at it’s highest
In many cases resources like a server for disc
writing must have restrictions from being
used when they should not be used, which
is why DiscJuggler.NET provides functions to
lock-down the server and prevent people with
access to the server from being able to use it
for non-productive purposes.
Getting started couldn’t be any easier
Once all hardware is configured correctly, the administrator has to do very little before the server
can begin to be used by other employees in the group, department, or office. Using the diagram
below of your everyday office, the whole profess will be outlined.
Clear user class structure
Privileges can be assigned by a user class
template structure. There are three user
class templates, which can be customized and
assigned to any user on the system. Operators
and Superusers have the same abilities, but
Superusers cannot configure the server like
Operators can. Users are the lowest level user
class, with no access to server configuration or
change the job priority.
Features administrators appreciate
A wide range of administrative controls are
provided with DiscJuggler.NET. The operator,
or administrator in charge of the Padus
Network Server, has the ability to limit users
to types of drives, number of drives per job,
number of discs, and even the priority of their
jobs on the server. IP access lists and user
accounts are available for security.
Logging for server access and use
All access to the server is logged both in the
Padus Remote Console and in a plaintext file
in the same directory as the Network Server
service binary. This allows the administrator
the ability to do other things without having
to baby-sit a shared office resource.
1 After installing the Padus Network
Service on the group server (4), the
Administrator returns to his cubicle and
uses a Padus Network Client interface to
test the PNS and begins the process of
user management. He announces to his
group that the server is up, and can be
accessed for CD and DVD mastering.
2
Using one of the many client
interfaces, the group immediately begins
to send their CD and DVD images over the
LAN to the DiscJuggler.NET server for
mastering. The jobs are queued based on
the order that they were received, user
priority, and drive availability. The first
disc is now in the drive, writing.
3
One
of
the
pre-determined
Superusers realizes that they must
have a CD immediately for the product
demonstration. Frantically, the CD is premastered and sent to the server.
2
4
4 The PNS commands the attached
robotic device (5) to load the blank discs
into the writing drives and start the jobs.
Upon receiving the Superuser’s urgent
job, it puts it as the next job in queue.
5 The autoloader does the job of taking
discs from the input spindles, writing
and printing labels on the discs. After
each one is finished it is placed in the
output location for manual or automated
sorting.
6 The final products are ready for
distribution back to the job owners.
With a disc printer, any information from
source IP address to office location is
available on a small area of the disc for
the sorting and distribution process.
