Clips
5.1. Workflow
Requests to archive clips originating from different sources (e.g. non-linear editing
systems, playout systems, IPDirector) appear in Deep Archive Manager.
Depending on the settings of Deep Archive Manager, these requests are either
automatically processed, or a user has to manually confirm or decline them first. The clips
that have been refused can still be requested to be archived later.
Once the clips have been archived, the user can do two things: (1) he can request to
remove the corresponding high-resolution video file from the nearline storage. Only the
low-resolution video file will be kept. The remove requests are picked up and processed.
(2) he can request to purge or remove the clips from the archive again. The purge requests
are picked up and processed. Depending on the settings, the removal of the high-
resolution video file can also be performed automatically.
Once the corresponding high-resolution video files have been removed from the nearline
storage, the user can do two things: (1) he can request to restore them again. The restore
requests are picked up and performed by the deep archive system. (2) he can request to
purge or remove the clips from the archive. The purge requests are picked up and
processed. Depending on the settings, the purging can also be automatically requested.
Once the clips have been purged from the archive, the user can request to archive them
again, provided the corresponding high-resolution video file was not removed from the
nearline storage. The archive requests are picked up and processed.
During the various processes, errors can occur.
The schema below displays the various stages in the archive, hires removal, restore and
purge processes.
