Updating and Inventorying Cartridges

Deleting and renaming archived clips from the Media Manager interface
simply updates the library database—not the cartridge directory. This is why
delete and rename operations are so fast: the cartridge is not loaded into a
transport. Once a clip is deleted or renamed, the library database and the
cartridge’s physical directory are out of synch.

The update and inventory operations allow you to resynchronize the cartridge
directory and library database. The update operation rewrites the cartridge
directory with the library database’s record of what should be on that cartridge.
The inventory operation reads the cartridge directory and rewrites the library
database’s entry for that cartridge.

To update one or more cartridges:

1. In the media tree or contents pane, select one or more cartridge icons.

2. On the

File

menu, or from the shortcut menu with a right-click, click

Update

Cartridge

. Since the update takes several minutes to complete, you are asked

to confirm the operation:

3. Click

Yes

to update the cartridge or cartridges.
