Migration from Tape-based Archive to
File-based Archive*

By importing pre-existing MS Excel and database files into the
XDCAM Archive system, users can continue to search and
add metadata before content is actually ingested. Users can
link the imported data with video content by using SDI*

input.

*2: Other ingest methods such as file import to handle file-based media are
planned to be supported in the first half of 2012.

Archive Web application.
