Using a Library System
The PLS200 Profile Library System is a robotic library that stores clips
digitally on magnetic tape cartridges. The PLS 200 is a cost-effective
mechanism for spot or news storage and management, plus a solution and
method for the long-term archival of material. Storage is only limited by the
number of tape cartridges available. A fully loaded, 80-cartridge library has the
capacity to store approximately 130 hours of program material.
Archiving a Clip
To archive a clip means to copy it from disk to a cartridge in the library system.
Clips are always copied into the library when archived: they are never moved.
NOTE: Clips can only be archived if they reside on a machine that is
connected directly to a library system.
To archive a clip using a copy command:
1. In the contents pane, select the clip you want to archive. To extend the
selection, press Shift-Up Arrow or Shift-Down Arrow. Choose Edit | Select
All or Ctrl-A to select all the media in the contents pane.
2. Choose Copy on the Edit menu or from the shortcut menu with a right-click.
You can also click the Copy button on the toolbar.
3. In the tree pane, select the partition icon where you want to archive the clip.
4. Choose Paste on the Edit menu or from the shortcut menu with a right-click.
You can also click the Paste button on the toolbar.
If there is a clip with the same name in the partition where you want to archive
it, you are prompted to change the name or cancel the operation. Also, a clip
can only be added to a partition if there is enough space for it.
