Apparatus and method for an on demand data delivery system for the preview, selection, retrieval and reproduction at_a remote location of previously recorded or programmed materials

摘要

An on demand data delivery system is provided for the manufacture of original content recordings at a remote location. A data capture facility for retrieving data from an item of material is connected to a data resampling means for compressing data which is accessible to a storage facility connected to a central host server. The central host server is connected to a communications network for communication to a remote server which controls a manufacturing control device connected thereto. The manufacturing control device duplicates original content recordings on blank media upon receipt of a data representation of the original content recording from the remote server which retrieves said data representation for a selected original content recording from the central host server over the communications network.
