• XNet, i.e. physical hardware present on the XNet, such as:
o
hi-res EVS video servers: displays clips containing a hi-res-clip saved on
the hi-res EVS video servers
o
lo-res EVS video servers: can only be viewed by administrators / media
managers, or users with appropriate rights
o
XF[2] or XStore hosting XFile software: displays clips which have been
backed up to XFile and then published from XFile to the XNet.
Note
Even if an XT clip is backed up to XFile in a file format, when the
file is published from XFile, it appears with a ‘clip’ icon
in the
Database Explorer grid.
Each machine can be searched by browsing the tree from network number >
page > bank.
• On-line nearline: displays clips which have been backed up to nearline/IP drive
and for which the IP drive is still managing the disks, so clips can still be
immediately retrievable.
• Off-line nearline: displays clips which have been backed up to nearline/IP
drive and for which the IP drive has been removed. So, IP drive identification
allows clips to be retrieved after re-inserting the drive.
