2.9 GIGABIT CONNECTION
The Gigabit connection makes it possible to transfer video and audio
material from the XT servers to external systems via the TCP/IP network.
The external systems can be the following:
• A storage system or an archiving system, such as XStore or XFile[2] or
XF[2].
• A non-linear Editing system, such as CleanEdit, Apple Final Cut Pro or
Avid.
However, the external systems cannot read the raw files coming from the
XT[2] servers. For this reason, XT Access is used as a “gateway”
between the XT[2] and the IT world. It takes up the role of gateway used
so far by XFile[2]/XF[2]/XStream as it creates file formats compliant with
external systems.
XT Access is directly connected to the XT[2] servers through the Gigabit
network via an FTP client. It runs on an XP workstation and is mainly
controlled by the external systems (no user interface) via XML files or
other processes.
