Rimage Corporation [NSDQ: Rimg] will showcase today, at Replitech, the newest and most advanced product in its line of CD-R/DVD-R automated publishing systems. Boasting industry-leading throughput and massive volume capability, the system is available this Fall through Rimage's distribution channels.
The Rimage producer Prostar allows users to create up to thirty-five unique CDs every ten minutes in an unattended environment, offers a 500-CD capacity for true "lights-out", high-volume production, supports up to eight 12X CD-R recorders, and uses Rimage's Perfect Imageâ producer Software Suite to automate the process seamlessly.

   The system was designed with input from major customers, who remained in contact with Rimage throughout the development process.
"Our past successes in the CD-R market have taught us a great deal about the direction our customers would like to see publishing systems go," said David Suden, chief technology officer for Rimage. "We've taken that experience, added our customers' invaluable input, and created the most impressive publishing system to date."

  The Prostar uses a patented architecture to support up to eight unique data streams for simultaneous imaging, network downloading and recording. The system includes Rimage's Prism printer, a full-color thermal transfer printer that is the fastest and most cost-effective in the industry.
The Prostar also uses a dedicated processor to provide direct network connections from the kiosk, useful in today's flourishing "CD-R on-demand" market. Users can prioritize job production and provide secure access to the system by authorized persons for up to 30 individual CDs.
