Content Management Application (CMA)
For CMA Running Mac OS
To create a Local Archive, you must first create the folder structure recognized by the CMA. The Creative Local Archive compresses
these files into a .dlc format that can be recognized for uploading. Use the following folder structure in preparing files for a local
Archive:
• A top level folder, which contains a Media and Objects folder.
• The Media folder must contain subfolders, and valid files may go into those subfolders.
• Only objects with a .x extension are allowed in the Objects folder (no subfolders).

Creating Content Backup Archive
Backups are created using the Content Archive feature. An Content Archive file is a compressed file containing all the User Content
from a single fixture along with the assigned DMX values for folders and files.
To create a Content Archive:
1.
In the CMA Client Window select All Server in the left pane.
2.
Select the Server with the content you want to backup in the right pane.
3.
Select Create Content Archive from the Media Files or Objects drop down menu or the right click popup list.

Deploying a Content Archive
Deploying the Content Archive you created restores the user content to a fixture. To replicate this content to other fixtures on the
link, use the Clone Content feature (see
6.7 Cloning User Content
Cloning is a file transfer operation where all the User Content of a single fixture is replicated across one or more other fixtures.
Cloning preserves all user content naming and DMX values. This allows you, for example, to send the custom content for a specific
show to all the fixtures used in that show with one operation.
To clone user content:
1.
In the CMA Client Window select All Server in the left pane.
2.
Select the Server with the content you want to clone in the right pane.
3.
Select Clone Content from the Media Files or Objects drop down menu or the right click popup list. A Clone Content Wizard lets
you select one or more servers on the fixture network as the destination for cloned content.
The cloning process erases all destination server(s) user content and replaces it with the selected server's user content. Stock
content is unaffected.
