Workflow (Restore via Folder Scan)
1. Based on the parameters defined in XTAccess, this application scans specific
folders on external backup or archiving systems.
2. When a clip file has been written to the scanned folder, XTAccess creates a
copy of the clip on the XT3 server specified in the XTAccess parameters.
The restored clip receives a new UmID and LSM ID:
o Multicam automatically assigns a UmID to the restored clip.
o A start LSM ID is specified in XTAccess and incremented as defined for
each new clip that is restored in order to find an empty location on the XT3
server.
The restored clip contains the clip metadata.
3. The restored clip is moved from the scanned folder to one of the following
subfolders on the external archiving or backup system:
o \Restore.done\: folder where the files are moved to when they are
successfully restored.
o \Restore.error\: folder where files are moved to when they failed to restore.
2.8.4 IMPORTANT RULES
Gigabit networks including EVS servers need to abide by the following rules:
• The hardware used on GigE networks with EVS servers need to support jumbo
frames.
• Both GigE ports of an EVS server need to be defined on different sub-
networks.
• Teaming between the GigE1 and GigE2 ports is not possible.
• This is not possible to implement failover through the GigE network.
• The GigE port available on the MTPC board (PC LAN) is a 100Base-T port.
This is used for monitoring purposes (XNet Monitor) or for the communication
with other applications (LinX). This can be in the same sub-network as the
GigE port.
2.8.5 SWITCHES
SUPPORTED SWITCHES
All switches used on the GigE networks of EVS systems need to support jumbo
frames (Ethernet frames with more than 1,500 bytes of payload). Three models of
19-inch Gigabit switches have been validated for use with EVS workflows:
• HP Procurve 2510G-24
• Cisco Catalyst 2960G-24TC
• Cisco Catalyst 3750E-24TD/3750E-48TD
