Database Monitoring and Updating
4 October 2010
Shared SmartBins support simple ( attened) movies, but not sequences, sub-folders,
or sub-clips that the K2 cannot use directly. SmartBins do not support sub-bins. The
workstation running the SmartBins SAN service must have a Fibre Channel-SCSI
connection to the Open SAN and a CVFS or SNFS license.
When you rst create a bin in Aurora Edit, you can map that bin to a K2 bin; after an
Aurora Edit bin is created, it cannot be mapped. Once an association is created, the
Aurora Edit and K2 bins are kept synchronized.
When the SmartBins Service starts, it determines which Aurora Edit bins are associated
with media server bins and then queries the media server database for the movies in
each associated bin. Any movies in media server bins that are not in the associated
Aurora Edit bin are registered to the Aurora Edit database. The SmartBins service
does not verify that Aurora Edit clips are in the media server database, so the
synchronization is one way only media server to Aurora Edit.
A SmartBins Service constantly monitors the Aurora Edit, MediaFrame, and media
server databases. Examples of updates to the database are listed below.
