For the configuration and setup of the whole DVS system and its soft-
ware you can use the Configuration Tool. Here you can set up, for ex-
ample, the bin properties.
Finally among the software modules you can find Spycer, the innova-
tive content management software by DVS, enabling you to manage
your content easily. It is a software application capable of handling large
amounts of video data and their corresponding metadata, providing
you with integrated browse, search and management tools, and allow-
ing you to preview clips and add them to the bin of the DVS software.
Spycer is directly integrated in the DVS software and thus not needed
as a stand-alone application.
Once the DVS software is started, you can access the different modules
available on your system easily via the task bar of the user interface (see
section “Overview of the User Interface” on page 2-5).
Additionally available for the DVS system are various tools. Among
them you can find the defragmentation tool which is a process auto-
matically started with the DVS software and running in the background
of the system. During stand-still times of the system the defragmenta-
tion tool will reorganize the files present on the hard disk array for an
optimized performance of real-time tasks such as a play-out or record.
For additional information about the software and its structure
as well as other available modules and the defragmentation
process in particular please refer to the “CLIPSTER Edit Tool”
user guide.
