The sections below briefly present the backup and restore of clips through the
Gigabit connection. Please refer to the XTAccess user manual for full information
about the possible workflows with third-party systems.
2.8.2 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:
a. It gets the clip content that has to be backed up from the XT3 server.
b. 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).
c. 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.
