Limitations of Open SAN SmartBins
Digital News Production 9
• Deleting Clips—When a movie is deleted on the Profile, the SmartBin
Service deletes the corresponding clip on the NewsEdit database. If the clip
is being used in NewsEdit at the time the Profile movie is deleted, the
NewsEdit clip will not be deleted and the databases will be out of sync.
• Deleting Bins—When a bin is deleted on the Profile, all movies in the bin on
the Profile database will be deleted, and the bin on the NewsEdit database
will also be deleted. The deletions can only occur if clips are not being used
in NewsEdit.
• Adding a Movie—When a movie is added to the Profile database, the
SmartBin Service automatically registers that clip in the NewsEdit database.
Complex movies, however, are not registered to the database because
SmartBins don’t support sequences. In this case, the databases will be out of
sync.
Updates to the NewsEdit Database
• Renaming Clips—When a clip is renamed in NewsEdit, an attempt is made
to rename the corresponding movie in the Profile database. If the Profile
movie cannot be successfully renamed, the NewsEdit rename fails.
• Deleting Clips—When a clip is deleted in NewsEdit, an attempt is made to
delete the corresponding movie in the Profile database. If the Profile movie
cannot be successfully deleted, the NewsEdit delete fails.
• Deleting Bins—When a bin is deleted in NewsEdit, SmartBin monitoring is
automatically turned off on the specified bin before deleting all of the
material in the bin. This is done to prevent accidental deletion of material on
the Profile database.
• Creating Master Clips—While recording to the SmartBin in NewsEdit, a
master clip is created in the NewsEdit database. When the master clip is
created, the SmartBin Service automatically registers that clip to the Profile
database once the record has completed.
Limitations of Open SAN SmartBins
No sub-folders, sequences or sub-clips are allowed in SmartBins. The
SmartBin option and Profile mapping association dialog is only available when
creating a bin for the first time. No SmartBin dialog is presented for existing
bins.
