Sony introduces a powerful addition to the
XDCAM® Series, the simple and affordable
XDCAM Archive, to meet rapidly increasing
needs in file-based AV content archiving.
It provides both online and offline archiving
capabilities with online proxy data for effective
search and browse.
n Turnkey File-based Content Archiving Solution
The XDCAM Archive comes with all the basic capabilities
for file-based content archive management – file
importing, cataloging, searching, archiving, and retrieving
– allowing quick system setup. All client applications are
pre-installed in the server and accessible through a
standard IT network.
n Offline Shelf Archive
The XDCAM Archive provides an offline archiving
capability using XDCAM Professional Disc™ media –
large-capacity reliable media with an estimated shelf/
archival life of up to 50 years in accelerated testing.
A GUI-based search facility displays the location of media
on shelves, enabling intuitive and quick retrieval of
archived content.
n Online HDD-based Storage
The XDCAM Archive comes with online hard disk drive
storage for high-speed retrieval of frequently-used
content. HDD content is shown as a virtual library of
Professional Disc media, allowing you to migrate content
offline by a simple drag and drop operation.
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® without any latency.
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.
