Overview

memory label (rec start marks, shot marks, cue points, IN/
OUT points).

User registration

Up to 5 users can be registered for one e-VTR.
One of the registered users is “superuser,” and the other 
users are “general users,” registered by the superuser.
The privileges of the users are as follows:

Superuser

• Can register general users.
• Can view video and audio recorded at any location on 

cassette tapes.

• Can create files at any location on cassette tapes.
• Can change the properties of files owned by all users.

General users

• Can change own password.
• Can view file segments in files to which the user has 

access privileges.

• Can modify attributes of files for which the user has 

attribute modification privileges.

The superuser registers general users on the user 
registration page of the Web application 

(see page 42)

General users can use the same page to change their own 
passwords.

Backing up Setup menu settings

Setup menu settings of the e-VTR can be saved to the 
computer via a network. The saved file can then be used to 
recover settings or copied to other e-VTRs.

SNMP (Simple Network Management 
Protocol) function 

The SNMP function allows management information on 
network devices (i.e., the e-VTR) to be monitored from 
external monitoring software. SNMP settings for each e-
VTR on the network can be made through the maintenance 
screen of the Web browser.

External server link of metadata

A meta-data file in an external server can be downloaded 
and stored with video and audio data as a single MXF file 
enabling file transmission.  You can thus operate metadata 
under external control and video/audio data recorded on 
tapes in collaboration.

Automatic file-system data operations with 
an external server

Information regarding the file system is normally stored in 
the Tele-File.  You can set your e-VTR to write and 
automatically read these data to/from an external server.
This permits you to specify many files regardless of the 
Tele-File capacity.

e-VTR Manager Application Software 
Functions

The supplied e-VTR Manager application software can be 
installed on a computer connected to the e-VTR to enable 
control of the e-VTR from the computer.
The software provides the following functions.

MXF file transfers between FTP servers, 
including the e-VTR

The application can control MXF file transfers between e-
VTRs and between e-VTRs and servers, You can register 
multiple network devices on a single computer and control 
the devices individually.

e-VTR file creation, modification, and 
deletion

Files can be created by defining the top and end of 
previously recorded sections on the tape. These files can be 
modified and deleted.

e-VTR video and audio monitoring

The contents of video and audio files on the e-VTR can be 
monitored in real time on the computer. You can create 
files while checking video and audio.

Storage and playback of MXF Proxy AV 
files

You can load MXF Proxy AV files from an e-VTR to a 
local disk of your PC.  It is also possible to play back MXF 
Proxy AV files stored on the local disk.
