Cataloging Your Disc Collection

fuggetaboutit. ;) It was asked, the features relies on the Kaleidescape internal BD and SD cataloguing infrastructure.


Limitations and lack of engineering advancement like this, if it is the case here again, is the kind of thing that makes me reconsider sticking with my system. Meh. Anyway, I'll reserve judgment until all is known.

Hi , can anyone point me in the right direction, I have 2 cinema ones (2nd gen) linked (8TB storage) 200 or so disks. I have added a DV700vault but it seems to be importing discs other than catalogues the disc. My question is what happens when my 8TB is full? Is the rest of the space in the 700 defunct and not able to play them? Thanks in advance, pete

Hi Pete,

Yes, this is a limitation of the Cinema One when used with a DV-700. It is a system designed to import, not catalog discs. Once the system’s storage is full, it will stop importing. The remaining discs will be in a “waiting to import” state, and will not be playable.

The best solution available is to upgrade the Cinema One system to a 1U+ server with one or more M-class players. The 1U+ can be configured with plenty of storage to import all the discs in the DV-700.

Yes it does. I was referring to the Cinema One when used with a DV-700. There's no way to have discs in the DV-700 cataloged. If they're in the vault, the system will try to import them.

Well having Put a load of discs in last night I noticed four of the disks I catalogued through the cinema one the same colour as the imported ones, lo and behold when I played one of them it actually played from the vault.
