Starting a job in TrueNet FX is easy. Whether selecting a disc image, or creating a label file, the user interface is both powerful and user friendly. Create all job types from one dialog, including Drag & Drop data/video mastering and creating a label for your discs. Even discs sets can be created, starting right here!

E-Mail Notifications made easy

• Confirm the job has started
• Confirm the job completed
• Confirm any changes to the job
• Warn when the media is running low (selectable threshold - NS2100 and NS4500 only)

Drag & Drop Mastering

TrueNet FX provides Drag & Drop mastering within the web browser for:

• CD, DVD & Blu-ray
• ISO 9660 with option Joliet extensions
• UDF 1.02 for DVD Video
• UDF 2.60 for Blu-ray Video

TrueNet FX supports virtual images. A virtual image is built while the data is transferred to the publishing system, eliminating the need to create a disc image on your local computer hard disk. This saves a significant amount of time and storage space. TrueNet FX also supports building industry standard ISO files for archiving and later use in jobs.

Multi Disc Sets - Even With Mixed Media

Creating and using disc sets could not be easier! TrueNet FX allows up to 99 master discs to be added to a set and run as a single job--as if it were a single disc. Simply tell TrueNet FX how many sets you want and the discs will be produced in set order, providing instant collated sets with little effort. Once created, a Disc Set can be used over and over again for quick and easy re-runs.

On systems that support more than one media type (e.g. the NS2100 and NS4500) the Disc Sets feature even allows mixed media within the set, meaning a single disc set could include CDs, DVDs and even Blu-ray discs, and the system will automatically select the correct input for the required media type.

Label Editing Built In

The TrueNet FX Label Editor provides a fully integrated Label Editing solution, enabling you to create your disc labels without ever having to leave the TrueNet FX browser environment. Import of industry standard graphics files is supported along with all fonts present on your system.

In addition to standard labels, the Label Editor goes a step further by providing automated dynamic fields for Date & Time, Serialization, Database Mail-Merge functions for personalized unique discs, and user prompted form fields for standardized corporate label templates.

Form Field Prompts

In some environments it may be desirable to disable the ability of some users to create or edit their own labels. This could be because there is a standard corporate requirements for a specific logo, copyright or other text. However, users may need to add unique data to the labels to identify the contents, or perhaps a client or medical patient. TrueNet FX provides a Label Editing Lockout feature, but still allows users to select ready-made label templates containing form fields that prompt the user to enter the appropriate data when the template is selected. In the example above, four form fields were added to the label template. Each time a user selects the template they are prompted to complete the details for 'Patient Name', 'Department', 'Consultant' and 'Reference'. Note that these fields are completely user defined, allowing you to produce completely customized form field prompts.

Label Preview

All label templates can be previewed on-screen prior to starting a job; any dynamic data, such as serialization, data mail-merge and user prompted form fields, are displayed as live data in the label preview.

System Administration

System administration is easy within TrueNet FX. A multi tabbed dialog allows access to all areas of the system, including:

• Hopper Settings - used to configure media types within the publishing system
• User Settings - used to maintain users within the system
• Network Settings - configure for DHCP or fixed IP
