Configuring a Media Watcher
Plug-in
Description
DIVArchive
For access to a Front Porch Digital DIVArchive
You can configure the Media Watcher to use a DIVArchive as an external
file store in three types of archive operation:
–
The restoring of a media file from a DIVArchive.
–
The archiving of a media file to a DIVArchive.
–
The deleting of a media file from a DIVArchive.
Restoring
When a schedule event features a media file that is not on an iTX Media
Store but is on a DIVArchive, iTX can restore the media file; i.e. copy it from
the archive to an iTX Media Store.
For an operation of this type, the Media Watcher requests the DIVArchive
to copy the media file to the Inbox folder. Once the file is there, the Media
Watcher registers it and moves it to an iTX Media Store.
If the restored media file is later deleted from the iTX system, iTX may keep
its asset (with details of the archive location) in the System Database. This
makes it easier for iTX to restore the media file the next time it is needed.
Manual and Schedule based Restore Jobs are issued with a HIGH priority
(75/100)
Archiving
iTX can archive a media file to the DIVArchive when the Media Watcher
registers the file from the Inbox. In general, it can archive files of the types
identified by the filename extensions listed below.
Video
.avi; .gxf; .mov; .mpg; .mpeg; .mxf; .saf; .ts; .wmv; .xtl
Audio
.mp3; .wav; .wma
Still image
.bmp; .jpeg; .jpg; .png; .spg; .tif; .tiff
iTX CG
.cap
In the archiving process, the DIVArchive copies a media file from its Media
Store location; the original media file is not deleted.
Archiving jobs are issued with a MEDIUM priority (50/100)
Deleting
iTX can delete a media file from the DIVArchive when its asset is deleted
(for example, on the Asset layout).
