Using Media Manager
The Profile Media Manager allows you to have access to digitally stored JPEG
and MPEG media and provides tools for managing that media—such as
explore, cut, copy, paste, and delete. Media may be stored locally on disk on
your Profile unit, or it may be on a disk expansion unit, RAID system, or library
system attached to your Profile unit. You can also transfer media stored on any
Profile system on your Profile network via a Fibre Channel connection.
Digital video and audio media may be stored in volumes. A volume is a disk set
or file system on one of the following machines:
• PDR 100 Professional Video Disk Recorder
• PDR 200 or PDR300 Video File Server
• PRS200/A or PRS 250 Profile RAID Storage system
• PDX 103 Profile Disk Expansion Chassis
• PDX 208 Profile Disk Expansion Chassis
Video and audio clips can also be stored on digital tape cartridges in the PLS20
and PLS200 Profile Library Systems.
With Media Manager, you view media in a tree structure. On disk, media may
consist of video and audio clips and masters. Clips and masters are organized
into bins that are kept on a volume. A bin is a container for clips and masters,
similar to a directory on a computer. A clip refers to segments or portions of a
media file or a media file in its entirety. A master is an edited sequence of clips.
On a cartridge in a library system, media also consists of clips and masters.
Cartridges are divided into one or more partitions.
NOTE: Profile system software version 2.5 supports Media Manager
version 1.1.5.
