EVS XTract Version 1.02 - July 2013 User Manual - Manual (Page 8)

2. Installation
The XTract application must be installed on the same computer as the XTAccess
application.
The XTAccess application used by XTract is solely dedicated to XTract and cannot be
used by any other application. It is already configured to process XTract commands.
The XTract setup launches the XTAccess installation only if no XTAccess is installed or if
the already installed XTAccess version is lower than the new one.
XTAccess is configured only for file transfer with wrapping when required but cannot
perform any format transcoding. The available wrappers are:
• QuickTime Reference
• QuickTime Movie
• MXF OP1a
• MXF EVS
• Avid MXF OP-Atom
XTract is able to communicate with a single XTAccess application installed on the same
computer, but it manages the backup and restore of files from and to multiple EVS video
servers.
As only one XTAccess application is used, only one XML Unit is defined by default for the
communication between the XTract and XTAccess applications using the LinX protocol.
XTract creates xml job files corresponding to the backup and restore jobs requested by
the operator and drops these files in the XML Unit folder. XTAccess regularly pools this
folder and executes any available job described as an xml file.
