Retail, On-Demand and Photo

Retail operations know ease of use, affordability and reliability are critical attributes for success. That’s why many of the most successful retail content distribution solutions for creating unique discs are integrated around Primera’s disc publishers.
Just a few of the popular retail applications for disc publishing include:
- Converting analog tapes to DVD
- Creating digital negatives on CD
- Distributing music, video or software “on-demand”
- Automated music digitization service (CDs to MP3 files) for portable music devices
Primera has a track record of teaming with solution providers to give retailers new ways to increase store traffic. One reason more retailers look to Bravo disc publishing equipment is its innovative design. Bravo II and BravoPro are affordable workhorses that occupy less than four square feet of space. Bravo XR and Bravo XRP provide scalability, redundancy and lights-out production in a tough, metal case with attention-grabbing internal blue LED lighting – an important feature at retail.
Primera’s disc publishers are all easily transported since they do not ship on a pallet. All things considered, affordability, functionality and industry-leading form factor make Primera disc publishers the best choice for retail disc publishing.
Featured Retail Developer: YesVideo
YesVideo is the world leader in automated software solutions that convert photo and video content to professionally featured DVDs. YesVideo's proprietary YesDVD software enables one-button creation of Hollywood-style DVDs from any type of media content, consumer or commercial. Innovative features of YesDVD software include:
* Automatic, Intelligently-Created Chapter Scenes - YesDVD uses algorithms to automatically read incoming video and detect scene breaks to create chapter scenes.
* Onscreen Chapter Menus - Scenes are indexed onscreen with the first clear image from each chapter of the on-screen viewing menu, making content easy to navigate.
* Music Video Highlights - The software intelligently selects the best scenes from the home video footage and sets them to three, one-minute video highlights that are automatically set to the beat of music samples.
* Digital Scrapbook - The embedded Digital Scrapbook PC software enables easy editing and sharing of videos and photos from converted DVDs by creating multimedia storyboards (complete with transitions, title screens and user music), editing photos (rotate, zoom, crop, and adjust brightness and contrast) and capturing digital photos from videos and old movie film.
YesVideo has in-store solutions around the country that utilize Primera’s Bravo II to create professional DVDs quickly and accurately. YesVideo systems with Primera disc publishers are installed in over 340 Ritz Camera, Wolf Camera and PROEX photo stores nationwide, selected Best Buy and Walgreens stores, and hundreds of other retail outlets.
Featured Retail Developer: Mediaport
Mediaport is the world’s leader in digital media systems that manufacture point-of-sale kiosks, called MediaATMs®, which allow customers to create a mix of songs from major music and entertainment labels and burn them to a professionally-labeled CD. Mediaport systems are full service solutions that bring the ability to sell all digital-on-demand products in a retail environment. The benefits to retailers are numerous, including the freeing-up of shelf space by allowing the back catalog of titles to reside on the kiosk. The retailer does not have to worry about running out of inventory of current hot sellers or lose a sale on a hard to find title. Mediaport systems are currently operating in military bases, travel locations, video shops and music stores in Asia, Australia and the U.S. Primera’s BravoPro is at the heart of this application. Primera’s PTBurn SDK allows the BravoPro to load-share production between two drives to increase productivity and offer redundancy.
