Output File Format
The following setting makes it possible, in a Single Disk configuration, to choose the
format in which the backup file will be manually generated.
The Manual Backup Output Parameters > File Format drop-down list allows the user
to select the default file format for the clips backed up with the manual backup process.
The following formats are available:
• EVS MXF 2 MB
• MXF OP1a (SD IMX only)
• Quick Time Movie
• Quick Time Reference
• Avid Ingest Device
• CleanEdit Reference
• Avid MXF OPAtom
• MXF OP1a (Std SMPTE)
Generating an XML Metadata File
When the Manual Backup Output Parameters > Generate EVS XML Metadata check-
box is selected, an XML file with the metadata of the clips backed up with the manual
backup process is generated. This file is created at the same time as the backup file for
all media file formats.
Refer to section ‘Generating an XML Metadata File’ on page 22 for more details.
Super Motion Backup Mode
Refer to section ‘Super Motion Backup Mode’ on page 23 for more details.
