memory label (rec start marks, shot marks, cue points, IN/ OUT points).

User registration

Up to 5 users can be registered for one e-VTR.

One of the registered users is “superuser,” and the other users are “general users,” registered by the superuser. The privileges of the users are as follows:

Superuser

•Can register general users.

•Can view video and audio recorded at any location on cassette tapes.

•Can create files at any location on cassette tapes.

•Can change the properties of files owned by all users.

General users

•Can change own password.

•Can view file segments in files to which the user has access privileges.

•Can modify attributes of files for which the user has attribute modification privileges.

The superuser registers general users on the user registration page of the Web application (see page 42). General users can use the same page to change their own passwords.

Backing up Setup menu settings

Setup menu settings of the e-VTR can be saved to the computer via a network. The saved file can then be used to recover settings or copied to other e-VTRs.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) function

The SNMP function allows management information on network devices (i.e., the e-VTR) to be monitored from external monitoring software. SNMP settings for each e- VTR on the network can be made through the maintenance screen of the Web browser.

External server link of metadata

Ameta-data file in an external server can be downloaded and stored with video and audio data as a single MXF file enabling file transmission. You can thus operate metadata under external control and video/audio data recorded on tapes in collaboration.

Automatic file-system data operations with an external server

Information regarding the file system is normally stored in the Tele-File. You can set your e-VTR to write and automatically read these data to/from an external server. This permits you to specify many files regardless of the Tele-File capacity.

e-VTR Manager Application Software Functions

The supplied e-VTR Manager application software can be installed on a computer connected to the e-VTR to enable control of the e-VTR from the computer.

The software provides the following functions.

MXF file transfers between FTP servers, including the e-VTR

The application can control MXF file transfers between e- VTRs and between e-VTRs and servers, You can register multiple network devices on a single computer and control the devices individually.

e-VTR file creation, modification, and deletion

Files can be created by defining the top and end of previously recorded sections on the tape. These files can be modified and deleted.

e-VTR video and audio monitoring

The contents of video and audio files on the e-VTR can be monitored in real time on the computer. You can create files while checking video and audio.

Storage and playback of MXF Proxy AV files

You can load MXF Proxy AV files from an e-VTR to a local disk of your PC. It is also possible to play back MXF Proxy AV files stored on the local disk.
