It's definitely "masterisation" - there are several references throughout the text.

Please check the word: masterisation vs. rasterisation

Cloning platform

I found this explanation:

"En informatique : un master est un "ghost" de poste de travail informatique ( PC ) en fait c'est une image d'un disque dur entier que l'on clone avec l'aide de norton ghost ou de pc cloner par exemple, ce qui qui permet en un clic de souris de restaurer un PC ainsi que ses applications logicielles et licences... en moins de temps que juste le système d'exploitation ( windows ou autre... ).
C'est donc une sauvegarde complète que l'on restaure au lieu d'insérer tous les cdroms requis... La sauvegarde comprend également les licences qui ne sont donc pas à ressaisir"

which put me onto "cloning", then this:
"Ghost, which stands for "generated hardware oriented software transfer," is used for workstation cloning and disaster recovery, and provides a means for system administrators to create a master image of a workstation for storage and downloading onto multiple stations on a network."

So the "cloning platform" is presumably the system used for the cloning process; I imagine you can equally use "ghosting".
Note from asker:
Thank you Philippa - that's really helpful.
