2.3. Removing Hires
Introduction
From within the Deep Archive Manager interface it is possible to remove the high-
resolution video file of archived clips from the IPDirector nearline storage in order to free
up space.
This can also be done through the IPDirector interface, but it is strongly advised to
perform the removal through the Deep Archive Manager interface in order to minimize
possible mistakes (i.e. accidentally removing the low-resolution video file as well).
It is also possible to automate this process.
Workflow
The removal of the high-resolution video file of archived clips from the IPDirector nearline
storage proceeds as follows:
1. In the Deep Archive Manager, the user opens the Archived tab.
2. He selects the clips whose high-resolution video file he wants to delete from the
IPDirector nearline storage and adds them to the selection list.
3. He clicks the Remove Hires button.
The Deep Archive Controller picks up the removal request in the IP2Archive
database. It commands IPDirector through the IPDirector SOAP API to remove the
high-resolution video file from the IPDirector nearline storage.
4. In the Deep Archive Manager the clips are moved to the Remove Hires Queue tab.
5. Once the high-resolution video file has been removed, the clips are moved to the Hires
Removed tab in Deep Archive Manager.
IP2Archive Communicator will provide feedback to IPDirector by updating the clip
archive metadata.
