Using the Media Manager
The Profile Media Manager allows you to have access to digitally stored 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:
• PDR100 Professional Video Disk Recorder
• PDR200 Video File Server
• PRS200 Profile RAID Storage system
• PLS200 Profile Library System
• PDX103 Profile Disk Expansion unit
• PDX208 Profile Disk Expansion unit
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 consists only of clips, not masters.
Cartridges are divided into one or more partitions.
NOTE: Profile system software version 2.2 supports Media Manager
version 1.1.
