XTAccess Version 1.10 – User’s Manual

Author: Serge Comes - EVS Broadcast Equipment – July 2009

Issue 1.10.D

1. An external system, for example IPDirector, sends an XML file to XTAccess to

request the backup of a given clip created on an XT[2] server.

2. XTAccess processes the XML file:

a. It gets the clip content that has to be backed up from XT[2].

b. It generates a backup file of the clip in the format specified by the external

system (no transcoding feature, only native codec). The following formats

are supported: EVS MXF, AVI, Avid MXF OPAtom, MXF OP-1A, Quick
Time, Quick Time Ref (depending on the video codec).

c. It stores the backup file in the target folder specified by the external

system. The metadata of the clip are either included in the file (in EVS
MXF) or sent via an XML file.

Remark:

If the backup is not successful, the partial clip will be deleted from the disk.
