Catalog Search The Catalog application provides a fast and convenient method to add and edit metadata fields. Other XDCAM Archive system catalog GUIs include functions such as preview clips and pictures, view original extracted metadata, add multiple catalog layers and key frames to the timeline, set head frames for clips and picture packages, view the file list (file path/duration/size), set the content category and security level, and mark shot locations using the mark-onmap button. Archive The XDCAM Archive system organizes and displays the online storage as individual virtual (graphic illustration) XDCAM Professional Discs for easy replication to physical media for offline shelf storage and restore. The virtual Professional Disc media thumbnail with extracted metadata is visible from the Archive window, and allows users to preview disc content. An easy drag-and-drop process from a virtual disc to an XDCAM recording device allows content to be copied and protected on an XDCAM Professional Disc media. Virtual online and offline disc content is organized automatically, based on preset conditions for disc grouping and shelf assignment. Once a virtual disc is migrated to a physical disc, the online content is deleted based on the archive deletion policy. Other archive functions include virtual online disc capacity status, disc backup, add and modify groups and devices, thumbnail or list view, and arrange online media to move content from one virtual disc to another. Keyword searches and advanced queries about content registered in the XDCAM Archive system include the ability to create and import date ranges, and specify content type and storage status. Filters such as content category and import time further improve asset sorting to quickly determine a correct match. Each search result provides a thumbnail or proxy for preview with associated metadata. Search Filters Export After searching for a clip, the XDCAM Archive Content Browser allows users to export content in its original format, or transcode it to a supported output format (with an XML file). Content may be exported to network-attached production systems, FTP devices, or to the local HDD of client workstations. Material placed in the order list (shopping cart) may be selected to the Export to Medium application to form a compilation of clips and/or data files for distribution on a single XDCAM Professional Disc. Storyboard creation is also supported as an export option from the order list. Shelf Retrieve The XDCAM Archive system manages and tracks whether content is available online in RAID storage or offline (recorded or written to physical XDCAM discs). When offline content is required for export, the Shelf Retrieve application generates a printable list of XDCAM Professional Discs with disc barcode ID and shelf location information. Once a disc is retrieved from the shelf and restored to the XDCAM Archive server using an XDCAM device, the Export process completes. With the My Task monitor, users can easily check the status of tasks such as file restore. 3
