CDLector

MASS CD-RIPPING THAT CAN MAKE A JUKEBOX OBSOLETE

NOA’s CDLector station is a mass CD-ripping system that can handle up to eight parallel streams. Designed to extract audio from CDs into digital audio objects with perfect control over interpolation, it can deliver optimal results even for heavily damaged items. CDLector prompts you to insert the right carrier into the drive with automatic opening/closing of the corresponding drive in automatic mode. Alternatively, the system can use the carrier barcode to fetch the corresponding metadata item to be digitized. In most cases digitization of the carriers requires no hands-on operation.

CDLector includes algorithmic analysis as well as advanced metadata retrieval, and supports four read modes:

Archive Mode
	Reads all sectors up to 64 times, and will only move onto read the next sector if it has an exact match to read results (recommended for archives).

Burst C2 Mode
	Reads sectors only once, and changes the read mode only on reset of a C2 report from the CD-ROM drive, also flagging up the read mode change.

Alternate mode
	A response to the potentially long grab process in Archive Modes 16x-64x setting. You can specify a time/speed offset, after which the mode automatically changes to slow Burst Mode, while flagging up the read mode change.

Burst mode
	Can be used for CDs when no other method of grabbing will lead to a result. Burst mode is a single-pass mode with highest speed (typically 28x) and no security, except for algorithmic scanning.

FEATURES

Up to 1,000 CDs per day (two shifts, 55 mins/CD, eight CD-ROMs/archive mode readout) Industrial grab routine (EAC.dll) Extraction of ISRC and CD text Consulting of (selectable) Internet database for track information Reads most copy-protected CDs Play while grab (integrated NOA WaveWizard module) Extracts TOC and converts to cue marker Supports up to eight external desktop CD drives C2 indirect analysis

NOA CDLector may extract up to 50,000 CDs in less than a year. With CDLector, you can load CDs in any order without worrying about mistakes in the loading process or cross-checking content with the metadata. And since CDLector can handle 8 CDs in parallel at 2 minutes each (for new CD´s), a human interaction is required only every 15 seconds, a major advantage over jukebox solutions.
