Workflow The XDCAM Archive system provides content management capabilities through its GUIs including ingest (to support both file-based and tape-based material), catalog (to add and edit metadata), archive (to secure materials on its online RAID storage, and offline onto Professional Disc media), search (using proxy data to find and browse content instantly), and export (to retrieve content to editor terminals). It therefore covers the basic workflow requirements of video production content management.
