•From the Contextual menu, the Partial restore… selection opens a
window to do a
partial restore of a selected MXF file.
Partial Restore 4 Partial restore allows you to get a part of an MXF AV file (subclip access
by timecode) stored on the tape, that can be defined by the
Starting time
code
and Ending time code or Starting time code and Number of frames.
The
Partial restore feature is currently only supported for MXF OP1A and
OPATOM operational patterns and only with Iframe-only video essences.
Partial restore of other video essences is not frame accurate. The
Partial
restore
procedure for OP1A and OPATOM MXF files differs slightly from
other partial restore operations due to the fact that OP1A has only one
video essence and one audio essence embedded into a single file, while
OPATOM is composed of a directory containing at least one video file
and several audio files and possibly other directories such as
Video,
Audio, Clip, etc. The operational differences between the Partial restore
operation of OP1A and OPATOM is that the procedure for OP1A defines
the destination file and the procedure for OPATOM defines the
destination directory. At the time of this publishing, the SDLT 600A has
support for OP1A and OPATOM operational patterns procedures only.
Other operational patterns procedures are planned on future firmware
releases.
