Set file-store options for a Colossus system database
The Core plug-in enables a Media Watcher to copy clip information and archived media files
from a Colossus system.
To enable iTX to use a Colossus clip, the Media Watcher has to copy the clip information from
the Colossus database into an iTX asset. It must do this before it restores the associated media
file. To ensure this happens, you need to make the Colossus database the highest file store of
the search type (after all file stores of the store type) in the File Stores list.
To be able copy the associated media files, the Media Watcher requires an archive plug-in (e.g.
the DIVArchive one).
After adding a file store for a Colossus system, you do the following to configure it in the Search
Location Options dialog.
1.
Select the Core plug-in in the Plugin box.
2.
Do the following to enter a sample folder path for the plug-in.
