Partial Restore jobs (DIVA only)
A partial restore is performed when only a marked segment of an archived clip is required
for playout. A user can mark up a section of media via the iTX Desktop or SmartClient and
the DIVArchive management software will create and export a copy clip that just contains
the media required for playout.
Instead of the whole media clip being transferred to an iTX location, the section marked up
with an in-point and an out-point points is generated as a new physical file by the
DIVArchive.
Note: Currently, manual Partial Restores only work with DIVArchive systems
with self-contained Quicktime MOVs.
To ensure all frames of marked clip are available in a long GOP file structure, the file may
contain a small additional number of frames to the amount as specified by the newly
created Asset. These are not shown when previewing or playing out between the marked
points.
Partial restores can be perform from both the iTX Desktop's Asset layout or SmartClient
Asset workspace.
To mark up a clip and perform a partial restore:
1 Open either the Asset layout on the iTX Desktop or the Asset workspace in Smart
Client.
2 Search for an asset known to exist on the DIVArchive.
3 Click the Actions tab.
4 Mark the required in-point and out-point by dragging the green and red markers to the
appropriate timecodes, as pictured below:
5 Click Manual Partial Restore. The Submit Manual Partial Restore job dialog appears.
6 Click on a priority button (Low, Medium or High) and click Submit. A new job will be
created.
7 Click OK.
The name of the new media file is based on that of the parent co-reference but with a
Created date and time stamp.
Alternatively, if a ShotList contains a reference to a segment of a clip that is stored on a
DIVArchive, when it is loaded as an asset for playout, the DIVA based media will be partially
restored as part of the media required.
Viewing a partially restored media file
Partially restored video clips can be viewed in the asset media viewer in iTX Desktop's Asset
layout or the SmartClient Asset workspace.
To view a partially restored media file:
1 Open either the Asset layout on the iTX Desktop or the Asset workspace in Smart
Client.
