EVS Xsquare Version 2.1 User Manual - Manual (Page 8)

• EVS or third-party applications that use the new or the old job types that Xsquare can
process
• Files that are dropped in a folder and trigger a job process.
Xsquare Orchestrator
Xsquare itself consists of four processes:
• The job orchestration process that receives the job requests and send them to the
right processing device.
• The ScanFolder process that manages source files dropped in dedicated folders,
and send jobs to Xsquare to process these files.
See also section "Defining a ScanFolder" on page 11.
• The ScanXML process that manages XML file jobs (old job definition, called V1 jobs),
and translate them into Xsquare jobs (V2 jobs), and optionally modify the job definition
based on the Xsquare configuration.
See also section "Defining a ScanXML" on page 18
• The notification process that records all notifications from the processing devices,
saves them in a database, and sends light notifications to the clients.
Processing Devices
The processing devices are the engines that effectively process the jobs sent by Xsquare.
In the first versions of Xsquare, XTAccess applications are the only supported processing
devices.
In later versions, other processing devices will be supported.
