SmartBins on a NAS System
SmartBins for a NewsShare NAS System, known as GXF-SBINs, work in a
similar way as the Open SAN System—but actually transfer media via GXF
from an M-Series iVDR to the NAS and register with the NewsShare database,
automating the import function of NewsEdit. GXF-SBIN needs an external
XRE Server or DSM to act as a monitor for media transfer. Publishing back to
an M-Series iVDR is via a traditional GXF transfer in NewsEdit.
SmartBins provide an automated process that monitors and transfers files from
the flat M-Series iVDR bin structure to the tree-based NewsEdit directory
structure on shared NAS storage. SmartBins use a static directory mapping so
all files in a particular M-Series iVDR bin are monitored and automatically
transferred as they arrive to a selected NewsEdit NAS Bin, and then deleted
from M-Series iVDR. This function is uni-directional so that files put into the
selected iVDR directory automatically arrive and are available for editing in the
targeted NewsEdit directory. Files on the M-Series iVDR can then be manually
deleted (locally on the M-Series iVDR) or automatically deleted by the
SmartBin Service, with a specified delay after file creation and copy.
