network if more archive copies are required.
The XFile can also be used as a security backup of the network: should one
server lose its footage for any reason (accidental delete for instance), clips
can be restored from the XFile to any other server (XT[2] 6U, XT[2] 4U or
AirBox) on the network.
All Super-motion clips, created on any networked XT[2] server, are stored by
XFile amongst the normal files. The 75 fps nature of such material is
maintained during archiving and is restored in a single pass without
alteration. Therefore, restored Super-motion clips can be re-used as Super-
motion footage (playback at 33%) or as a standard material (variable speed)
just as if they where captured from the super-motion camera just now.
The combination of XT[2] 4U, XT[2] 6U, AirBox and XFile, all interconnected
on XNet, forms the basic architecture required to move from a mostly tape-
based production to a disk-based environment.
Note
The Appendix 1, on page 179, provides more technical information
related to the XF[2] hardware and is intended to administrators.
