n Fast Search and Preview Operation
The XDCAM Archive offers quick file-based search
capabilities such as metadata searches. Search results
are shown as thumbnail lists, and you can view the
content at your PC or Macintosh
This type of operation is made possible by light-size proxy
data, which is a time-code synchronized low-resolution
copy of high-resolution AV data. The XDCAM Archive
keeps all proxy data online, enabling quick content
reviews even when AV data is offline.
n Other Features
• Storyboarding using proxy data
You can storyboard – EDL-based edit – with proxy data,
and export high-resolution data to nonlinear editors
according to the storyboard.
• Remote access via the Internet
You have access to your XDCAM Archive system via an
Internet VPN. Basic operations such as ingesting,
searching, and retrieving can be performed even on a
remote basis, further enhancing the flexibility of the
solution.
