OPUS Metadata import tool for Core Systems
The iTX2 installer includes the OPUS Metadata tool, for importing metadata types and schemas
into the iTX System Database from a Core system Colossus database.
Metadata types and schemas are used in the annotating of video clips and events in them.
The tool has the program name “Omnibus.OPUS.MetadataTool.exe”. You can find it in the Files
sub-folder of the iTX Suite folder.
After opening the tool on the iTX Database Server machine, you configure it to connect to the
Colossus database. Please note you will need to know the SQL connection details for the
Colossus database in order to be able to do this.
On the Core Import tab click ‘Config’ and enter the following details for your Colossus database:
• Server Name
• Database
• User Name
• Password
From this, it gets details of available metadata types and displays a list of them under the Core
Import tab:
You can then select and import the metadata types that your iTX system requires. During this
process the metadata schemas that are associated with the selected metadata types are also
imported.
From the Import/Export tab, you can export metadata schemas in the iTX system as .xsd files
for use by an external system.
