2.2.3. Archiving Subclips
If you create a subclip of an existing clip in IPDirector and drag-and-drop this subclip in the
Request Archive bin, this subclip will still refer to the high-resolution and low-resolution
video file of the source clip. To avoid that the original high-resolution video file gets
archived, IP2Archive Communicator will copy this subclip first to the Subclip
Generation bin. An XML job is sent to XTAccess to create a high-resolution and low-
resolution file of this subclip on the nearline storage. Once the high-resolution and low-
resolution file are created, this will be picked up by the IP2Archive Communicator and the
clip will be requested for archiving.
2.3. Restoring Clips
Before restoring a clip, verify if the clip has been tagged as archived and only contains a
low-resolution video file on the nearline storage. If you try to restore a clip of which the
high-resolution video file is still online, the clip will be moved to the Restore Rejected bin.
2.3.1. Before Restoring
Before restoring a clip, verify if the clip has been tagged as archived and only contains a
low-resolution video file on the nearline storage. If you try to restore a clip the high-
resolution video file of which is still online, the clip will be moved to the Restore Rejected
bin.
2.3.2. Fully Restoring Clips
Introduction
Clips can be fully restored by dragging them into the Request Restore bin in IPDirector,
or by selecting the clip in the Deep Archive Manager and clicking the Restore button.
Workflow 1: Restoring Clips Using IPDirector
To request to fully restore the high-resolution video file of a particular clip, search for it
using the IPDirector Database Explorer and simply drag-and-drop the clip in the Request
Restore bin.
If the Request Restore 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
Restore in Progress bin. If the clip isn’t moved, then check if the IP2Archive
Communicator is running.
In Deep Archive Manager the clip will appear in the Restore Queue tab.
