Grass Valley iTX System v.2.6 - Manual (Page 93)

Configuring a Media Watcher
Plug-in Description
the iTX asset. The video and audio (essence) files are stored in a subfolder
of the reference file folder.
Core For access to a Colossus system database
iTX can copy clip information from a Colossus system database.
When an event in a live schedule features an asset that is not registered in
the iTX system, the Media Watcher searches the Colossus database for a
matching clip; the clip must be associated with a media file in an archive
location (specified in the plug-in configuration).
On finding the clip, it creates a corresponding asset in the iTX System
Database and copies the clip information from the Colossus database. The
iTX asset includes a useclip flag – a property setting that causes iTX, when
playing out the clip, to use the in- and out-points copied from the clip in the
Colossus system.
Once the iTX asset is created from the Colossus clip, the Media Watcher
manages the copying of the required media file from the archive to an iTX
Media Store. For this, it requires the DIVArchive plug-in.
