1. Introduction
Digital Archiving on removable media
The XFile application has access to all footage recorded on XT6U, XT4U,
AirBox and SpotBox servers through the SDTI network. When a clip is
created on one of the servers, a copy is automatically transferred to XFile.
Each clip is saved as a separate file on the removable media, including not
only video, audio and time code information, but also all metadata
associated with that clip: name, descriptors, creation date, original location
(server s/n, register), etc. The transfer between an XT6U or XT4U to the
XFile is a data transfer, i.e. no decoding/encoding process takes place at
any point, preserving the original quality of the footage, including super-
motion character if applicable.
All files saved to XFile can be opened with XFile Lite. The XFile Lite
application allows maintaining the clips backed up on a disk by the XFile
application. It also allows restricted editing of EVS MXF files. It can be used
as stand alone on any PC and does not require a PCX board.
