2.9 GIGABIT NETWORK
2.9.1 FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
The Gigabit connection makes it possible to transfer video and audio material from
the XT servers to external systems via the TCP/IP network.
The external systems can be the following:
• A storage system or an archiving system, such as XStore or XF[2].
• A non-linear Editing system, such as Xedio, Apple Final Cut Pro or Avid.
However, the external systems cannot read the raw files coming from the XT[2]
servers. For this reason, XTAccess is used as a “gateway” between the XT[2] and
the IT world. It takes up the role of gateway used so far by XFile/XStream as it
creates file formats compliant with external systems.
XT Access is directly connected to the XT[2] servers through the Gigabit network
via an FTP client. It runs on an XP workstation and is mainly controlled by the
external systems (no user interface) via XML files or other processes.
The Gigabit connection fulfill the following functions in relation with the XT[2]
servers:
• Backup of clips from an XT[2] server
• Restore of clips to an XT[2] server
The sections below briefly present the backup and restore of clips through the
Gigabit connection. Please refer to the XTAccess technical manual for full
information about the possible workflows with third-party systems.
