Note: The Pitch Blue Archive endpoint uses FTP for the transfer of files to
and from the archive, so Pitch Blue and FTP share the same functionality
options.
Import The endpoint either copies a file to an iTX location and updates the asset
record to state the media now exists in iTX exclusively; or it physically
'moves' the file by copying it to iTX then deleting the original and updat-
ing the asset record accordingly.
Archive The endpoint copies or moves an asset to an external archive (depending
on configuration) and updates the asset record with the media's new
External location.
Delete The endpoint processes delete requests for their store or archive and
passes these requests to the store or archive management software.
Reference media The endpoint performs the ingest of referenced based media, automati-
cally handling all associated essence files, including audio, video and xml
containing asset data.
