Content Manager is a content management application for Optical Disc Archive System users.
The main functions of this software are listed below.
• Archives video and audio files onto cartridges. Manages archived files efficiently using metadata
extracted and recorded in a database when files are archived. It can also manage shelf cartridges(offline cartridges), in addition to cartridges inserted in drives in an Optical Disc Archive System(online cartridges).
• Displays a list of archived files, thumbnail images, and proxy video for previewing archived files.
• Searches archived files using metadata. It can also search for text transcriptions using speech
recognition and for people using face recognition.
• Retrieves archived files on cartridges to a computer.
For details about the file formats that each function of this software supports, see “Supported File
Formats.”

Operation FlowArchiving
Archiving stores video data and other material created and/or edited using camcorders on cartridges.
When storing, metadata can be extracted from the video data and edited to make content easy to search
for and use at a later date.

Step 1: Archive files
Select files/folders on media or the computer to store on cartridges.

Step 2: Extract metadata
Extract information from files when they are archived and save the information as metadata. You can
extract voice audio as text and people shown in images.

Step 3: Edit metadata
Edit metadata after files have been archived.
• Editing Cartridge Metadata• Editing File Metadata

Step 4: Print cartridge labels
Print labels to aid sorting and organization of cartridges.

Step 5: Export a list of files
Export a list of files archived on the cartridge.

Retrieving
Retrieving copies files archived on a cartridge to the computer. You can search for the files to retrieve
using metadata.

Step 1: Search for files to retrieve• Searching on the Search screen
Search for files you want to retrieve from among the archived data. You can search using text, dates,and people as the search key criteria.
• Searching on the Archive screen• Searching on the Browse screen

Step 2: Retrieve files
Specify the retrieve destination folder.
• Retrieving on the Archive screen
Drag and drop files directly to retrieve them.
• Retrieving on the Browse screen or Search screen
Specify the retrieve destination folder to retrieve files.

HDD available capacity

The value does not include the space required for Optical Disc Archive Software.
• 500 MB or more HDD free space is required for installation.
• About 300 GB of HDD free space is required to archive 1,000 hours of data (therequired free space depends on the number and format of files to manage).
• When extracting metadata from files on a cartridge, a hard disk drive withfree space greater than the total size of the files from which metadata is
being extracted is required. Therefore, the maximum free space required isequivalent to the capacity of the cartridge.

59Updating the Database
A confirmation dialog appears prompting you whether to update the database whenever a cartridgeon which files have been created, updated, or copied using another application is inserted in a drive.
This indicates that the information for files on the cartridge does not match the contents in the Content
Manager database, and that files cannot be archived to the cartridge or retrieved from the cartridge
unless the database is updated. Updating the database is not required if only archiving files on the
cartridge to another cartridge.
Select one of the following options in the confirmation dialog, then click [OK].
• Import database:
Select this option to export metadata to a cartridge. Imports metadata saved on the cartridge andupdates the database.
• Register in database and extract metadata:
Registers the file information for the cartridge in the database, and simultaneously extracts
thumbnails, proxy video, and other metadata.
When this option is selected and [OK] is clicked, a dialog appears prompting you to select the typesof metadata to extract. For details about the types of metadata to extract, see “Extracting Metadatafrom Archived Files.”When this option is selected, a certain amount of time is required to extract the metadata and finish
updating the database.
• Register in database only:
Registers file information in the database, without extracting metadata.
You can always extract metadata later. For details, see “Extracting Metadata from Archived Files.”• Do not update:
Nothing is registered in the database. You can use the cartridge as an archive destination or a
retrieve source without displaying the cartridge in the Library area on the Archive screen. The
cartridge is displayed in the Desktop area on the Archive screen, and you can archive files on the
cartridge on another cartridge.
Note
When extracting metadata, the cache folder specified on the [Archive] page of the Settings screen isused. Accordingly, the free space on the drive with the cache folder must be greater than the total sizeof the files from which to extract metadata. Therefore, the maximum free space required is equivalent tothe used capacity of the cartridge.
