storyboard/thumbnail creation.
Depending on your system, an encoder can include:
Aurora Proxy Encoder
• Aurora/MediaFrame Proxy Encoder
• Aurora FTP
SmartBin Encoder
• Aurora/MediaFrame Proxy Encoder

Low-resolution proxy NAS
The low-resolution (low-res) NAS stores the low-res assets on the network, including:
• Proxy video
• Timecode
• Storyboard
• Thumbnails
The low-res NAS maintains its own file system. For more information on preparing
the NAS for the MediaFrame system, see
“Prepare NAS - Condor” on page 79 .
Archive
Assets can be saved to or restored from archive management software. MDIs on the
MediaFrame or MDI server can be configured to specify settings such as source and
destination transfer locations.
Depending on your system, assets are archived to:
• Front Porch Digital Diva archive, or
• SGL FlashNet archive
For more information, see “Archive stage” on page 123 .
