2.2.2. Archiving Source Clips
IPDirector Side
To archive a particular clip, search for it using the IPDirector Database Explorer and
simply drag-and-drop the clip in the Request Archive bin.
If the Request Archive bin has been defined as the user default bin, you can also right-
click on the clip you want to archive and choose Send to > Default Bin. See part 3 of the
IPDirector user manual for more information about setting a particular bin as default bin.
As soon as the clip is detected by the IP2Archive Communicator, the clip is moved to the
Archive in Progress bin. If the clip is not moved, then check if the IP2Archive
Communicator is running.
The clip will be moved to the Archived bin as soon as the clip has been archived on LTO.
IP2Archive Side
The IP2Archive Communicator is notified (through the IPDirector API) when a clip is
moved in the Request Archive bin. The archive requests are picked up and entered in the
IP2Archive database by the IP2Archive Communicator.
Depending on the settings of Deep Archive Manager, the clip to be archived will either
appear in the Archive Candidates tab or in the Archive Queue tab of the Deep Archive
Manager.
In the first case, the librarian has to manually decide if the clip can be archived or not. If
the librarian accepts the clip, the high-resolution video file of the clip will be archived to
LTO.
In the second case, the clip has been automatically accepted by Deep Archive Manager.
The archive requests are picked up by the IP2Archive automated applications: Deep
Archive Controller and Tape Storage Controller or File Transfer Daemon to pass the
request to the HSM system.
