5.7.2. Backup of Clips
Overview
The following schema shows how the backup of clips is performed with the Gigabit
connection and XTAccess:
Workflow
1. An external system, for example IP Director, sends an XML file to XTAccess to
request the backup of a given clip created on an XT3 server .
2. XTAccess processes the XML file:
◦ It gets the clip content that has to be backed up from the server.
◦ It generates a backup file of the clip in the format specified by the external system
(no transcoding feature, only native codec). The following formats are supported:
EVS MXF, AVI, Avid MXF OPAtom, MXF OP-1A, Quick Time, Quick Time Ref
(depending on the video codec).
◦ It stores the backup file in the target folder specified by the external system. The
metadata of the clip are either included in the file (in EVS MXF) or sent via an XML
file.
