Configuring a DIVA Endpoint

To edit the partial restore configuration file:

1 In Windows Explorer, navigate to:

C:\\Program\Actor\conf\actor

Note:

The Diva install folder can be named anything as part of the DIVA

Manager install process.

2 Open the file

PartialRestore.conf

in a text editor, such as Windows Notepad.

3 Locate the parameter

XXX_IGNORE_START_TIMECODE

(where

XXX

is the media format

extension type).

4 To enable 0 based time code calculations for Co-Reference clip generation, set this

value to '1' for each media type you have archived on DIVA.

For example, for a QuickTime file, locate and edit

QT_IGNORE_START_TIMECODE=01

so

that it reads

QT_IGNORE_START_TIMECODE=1

5 Once all of the required entries have been modified, the edited section of the file will

look like this (where the modified lines are in italics):

# If the parameter XXX_IGNORE_START_TIMECODE is set to 1, partial
restore

# will ignore the SOM value of the original clip and process TCIN and
TCOUT as if

# it starts from 00:00:00:00.

# Default value is 0

##################################################

# QuickTime specific options

##################################################

QT_IGNORE_START_TIMECODE=1

##################################################

# Avi specific options

##################################################

AVI_IGNORE_START_TIMECODE=1

##################################################

# EVS MXF specific options

##################################################

EVS_MXF_IGNORE_START_TIMECODE=1

6 Save and close the

PartialRestore.conf

file.

Configuring a DIVA Endpoint

DIVArchive endpoints are able to operate in Content Change, Search Media and manual
modes, depending on whether or not certain workflows are selected during the
configuration.

IMPORTANT

You should not attempt to operate a single endpoint configuration in more
than one mode. For example, if you are using the DIVArchive in Content
Change mode you should select a

Content Changed Workflow

and not

select a

Cache Content Workflow

within the same configuration profile.
