Content Management Application (CMA)
6.6 Archiving User Content
An Archive/Image is a compressed file used to store media files, folders and object files along with valid identification DMX
values. This Content Archive is used to backup User Content that can be restored to any media server.
6.6.1
Using Local Archives to Prepare Content Offline
You can create a Local Archive of files stored on your hard drive to be deployed to a server at another time. This lets you
work on organizing files for a specific show offline and then upload it to a server at a later date.
6.6.2
Creating a Local Archive
For CMA Running Windows OS
1.
Under the File menu, select Create Local Archive to launch the archiving wizard.
2.
Click on Add Media Folder. This will add a media folder to the left-hand column named "MyMedia0". Each successive media
folder will be named "MyMedia1, MyMedia2, and so forth. You can rename these folders with a single click on the folder
name.
3.
After creating a folder and renaming it (if you wish), highlight the folder to add media files.
4.
Click Add Media. This will bring up a file browser window that will allow you to navigate to the spot on your hard drive
containing the media you want to add. You can add single files or multiple files. To add multiple files, hold down shift and
select multiple media files with your mouse.
5.
Click Add Objects if you wish to add custom 3-D objects to the archive. This will again bring up a file browser window to
navigate to your 3-D objects. Any 3-D objects added will appear in the right hand column of the wizard. 3-D objects do not
get added to folders.
6.
Click Next at the bottom of the wizard. This will take you to another screen where you choose where to save and what to
name your archive.
7.
Click Browse to navigate to where you want to save and name your archive.
8.
Click Next. Your archive will then be created.
The Remove Media and Remove Object buttons can be used to remove media files and objects from the wizard
when creating the archive.
Currently, the archive will not be created unless each media folder created has at least one media file in it.
All media folders, files and objects will be assigned DMX addresses in alphabetical fashion.
