Search
Keyword searches and advanced
queries about content registered
in the XDCAM Archive system
include the ability to create and
import date ranges, and specify
content type and storage status.
Filters such as content category
and import time further improve
asset sorting to quickly determine
a correct match. Each search
result provides a thumbnail or
proxy for preview with associated
metadata.
Export
After searching for a clip, the XDCAM Archive Content
Browser allows users to export content in its original format,
or transcode it to a supported output format (with an XML
file). Content may be exported to network-attached
production systems, FTP devices, or to the local HDD of
client workstations. Material placed in the order list
(shopping cart) may be selected to the Export to Medium
application to form a compilation of clips and/or data
files for distribution on a single XDCAM Professional Disc.
Storyboard creation is also supported as an export option
from the order list.
Shelf Retrieve
The XDCAM Archive system manages and tracks whether
content is available online in RAID storage or offline
(recorded or written to physical XDCAM discs). When offline
content is required for export, the Shelf Retrieve application
generates a printable list of XDCAM Professional Discs with
disc barcode ID and shelf location information. Once a disc
is retrieved from the shelf and restored to the XDCAM Archive
server using an XDCAM device, the Export process
completes. With the My Task monitor, users can easily check
the status of tasks such as file restore.
Catalog
The Catalog application provides a fast and convenient
method to add and edit metadata fields. Other XDCAM
Archive system catalog GUIs include functions such as
preview clips and pictures, view original extracted metadata,
add multiple catalog layers and key frames to the timeline,
set head frames for clips and picture packages, view the file
list (file path/duration/size), set the content category and
security level, and mark shot locations using the mark-on-
map button.
Archive
The XDCAM Archive system organizes and displays the online
storage as individual virtual (graphic illustration) XDCAM
Professional Discs for easy replication to physical media for
offline shelf storage and restore. The virtual Professional Disc
media thumbnail with extracted metadata is visible from the
Archive window, and allows users to preview disc content.
An easy drag-and-drop process from a virtual disc to an
XDCAM recording device allows content to be copied and
protected on an XDCAM Professional Disc media. Virtual
online and offline disc content is organized automatically,
based on preset conditions for disc grouping and shelf
assignment. Once a virtual disc is migrated to a physical
disc, the online content is deleted based on the archive
deletion policy. Other archive functions include virtual online
disc capacity status, disc backup, add and modify groups
and devices, thumbnail or list view, and arrange online
media to move content from one virtual disc to another.
