Abstract
A method and system for processing of media items includes a separator system feeding a series of media items onto a transport system that is controlled such that adjacent media items destined for the same sortation bin are transported along a transport path as a group of media items to the same sortation bin and such that adjacent media items destined for different sortation bins are separated for separate transport along the transport path to the different sortation bins.
