Workflow: Burning Blu-ray (BD) and DVD Discs
All MA series servers offer the ability to burn single- and dual-layer BD and
DVD discs for archiving. The model of MA server determines how the discs
are created, manually or automatically.
It is recommended that Panasonic Blu-ray media be used for archiving.
For disc storage capacities, see
Archive Disc Capacities on page 50.
MA-10
The MA-10 server has a manually operated, internal disc burner.
To create archive discs:
1. Create ISO image file(s) of the content using ProxSysMA Services.
Once the ISO file has been created, it appears in the
ISO-Files folder on the F: (Work) or
T: (Tools) drive. For information on drives, see Hard Drives on page 53.
2. Set Tools > Burn Settings > Backend > ISO target directory to the location of the ISO
file.
3. Burn each disc manually, using the ISO file and the application provided with the MA
server.
a. Login for the burner application is pxma for both Username and Password.
b. Consult the burner’s documentation for specific operation instructions.
4. Create and output a Shortlist, see Search and Retrieve Content on page 10. This list
includes the Media Storage ID of the disc for each archived content item.
MA-50
The MA-50 uses an automated Blu-ray burner to automatically create multiple BD or DVD
discs.

1. Set to Primera or Rimage in Burn Settings, see Burn Settings on page 41.
2. Select when to burn the disc:
• Immediately with create media now, see Create media now (Burn-on-Demand)
on page 43.
• Schedule burn time, see Automatic Burning Schedule on page 43.
3. When a burn starts, high resolution content is downloaded from the MA server, the virtual
machine, to the work directory, see
Hard Drives on page 53.
4. Once content is downloaded, an ISO and disc image graphic is created.
5. Content is then passed to the automated burner’s software for automatic burning.
ISO Files After Burning Disc
In addition, the MA server provides the option that once the ISO file is burned and verified, the
MA server can remove the high-resolution content from server storage. This option is available
to Users with Administrator rights, see
Delete files after ISO creation on page 42.
The preview Flash files and metadata are maintained on the MA server for future reference.
