Using a Library System
NOTE: The Profile PRO Series supports only the PLS20 Library System.
Media Manager supports both the PLS20 and the PLS200 library systems. The
PLS 20 Profile Library System is a stand-alone drive for reading and writing to
individual magnetic tape cartridges. The PLS 200 Profile Library System is a
robotic library that stores up to 80 magnetic tape cartridges. The PLS 200 is a
cost-effective mechanism for spot or news storage and management, plus a
solution and method for the long-term archival of material. Total storage
capacity is determined by the number of tape cartridges available and the video
compression method used (JPEG or MPEG).
Archiving a Bin or Clip
To archive a clip means to copy it from disk to a cartridge in the library system.
Clips are always copied into the library when archived: they are never moved.
To archive a bin means to copy all the clips and masters in the bin to the library
system without having to individually select each clip or master.
NOTE: The archiving operation copies the data to the tape cartridge, but
does not update the cartridge directory. Updates can occur when you
export the tape, or when you specifically perform an update. See
“Exporting a Cartridge” on page 134, and “Updating and Inventorying
Cartridges” on page 136.
