1. Introduction
The Gigabit connection on EVS server makes it possible to transfer video and audio
material from the EVS servers to external systems via the TCP/IP network.
The external systems can be the following ones:
• A storage system or an archiving system, such as XStore, XFile or a 3
storage.
• A non-linear Editing system, such as EVS CleanEdit, Apple Final Cut Pro or Avid.
• Another EVS server
However, the extern al systems cannot read th e raw files coming from the EVS servers.
For this reason, XT Access is used as a “gate way” between the EVS Server and the IT
world. It takes up the role of gateway used so far by XFile/XStream as it creates file
formats compliant with external systems.
XTAccess is directly connected to the EVS servers through the Gigabit network. It runs
on an XP works tation and is m ainl y control led by th e ex ternal s ystem s ( no user in terfac e)
via XML files or other processes.
rd
party
The Gigabit connection fulfills the following functions in relation with the EVS servers:
• Backup of clips or trains from an EVS server to an Archive
• (Partial) restore and copy of clips from an Archive to an EVS server
Issue 1.17.C

• Backup of clips or trains from an EVS server to EVS CleanEdit Suite
• Exchange of EVS content (clips or trains) with Avid systems via Avid Transfer
Manager or using Avid WebService
• Exchange of EVS content (clips or trains) with Apple Final Cut Pro
• Exchange of EVS content (clips only) with another EVS server
• (Partial) rewrap of file from an Archive
• Rendering of EDL from files or clips
• Backup of EDL from files or clips
• Grab frames of a clip on a EVS server in order to create thumbnails (e.g. for
IPDirector)

2. Hardware Recommendations
The XTAccess software is installed on a workstation operating under Windows XP,
Windows 2003 Server , windows Seven 32 b it, windows Seven 6 4 bit or Windows Server
2008 SP2 64 bit. With the 64 bit OS, XTAccess runs as a 32 bit application.
The minimum system requirements are:
• Workstation or Laptop
• CPU Pentium P4, 2.0 GHz +
• 512 MB RAM (2GB for the rendering of playlist and transcoding jobs)
• GigE board with Jumbo Frame capabilities
• VGA 1024x768
The XTAccess software ru ns eith er on EVS work stations like IPDir ector , XFile, X Store, or
on any standalone third-party workstation.
Important
Jobs like transcoding, backup of clips or trains, restore/copy of files to EVS
Server use CPU resources on the device where XTAccess runs. It is then
advised not to run any other critical application simultaneously on the
XTAccess device, es pecially when the Xedio Suite or IPD irector are installed
as standalone systems with a local database.

3. Software Installation
The installation package is based on one installshield:
XTAccess_1.17.xx_Setup.exe
For the Xedio Integration Option, contact the Xedio support to install the compliant
software.
To install XTAccess; proceed as follows:
1. Copy the installshield XTAccess_1.17.xx_Setup.exe in a temp directory (e.g.
C:\Install Software\XTAccess\).
2. Run XTAccess instal lshield XTAccess_1.17.xx_Setu p.exe and then follow the s teps
of the Setup wizard.
3. Press NEXT.

6. You can select here the different XTAccess components:
• Install VCRedist: If you install XTAccess for the first time on this workstation,
you need to install M icrosoft Visua l C++ Redistr ibutable applicati on by selectin g
“Install VCRedist”. For future installations or upgrade, you may deselect this
option to reduce installation time.
• Install XSecure M anager: T his option will install the EVS Licens e software (EV S
Licenses XSecure co des are neces sar y for t he trans co ding jobs and rend ering of
playlists).
• Install XTGatew ay: This option will ins t a ll X TGateway. X TGateway is a Windows
service required for rendering playlists with XTAccess.
• Install AppGuard: This option will install AppGuard. AppGuard will restart
automatically XTAccess in case of crash.
• XTAccess Inscript ion to the EVS SNMP: This option will inscribe XT Access to
the EVS SNMP Agent (the EVS SNMP Agent must be installed on the computer).
• Install EVS SNMP Agent: If you install XTAccess for the first time on this
workstation, you should sel ect this opt ion to insta ll the EV S SNM P Agent .

4. XSecure Management
From XTAccess v.1.07.22, XSecure is used. XSecure can be installed with XTAccess
installshield (see the chapter ‘Software Installation’).
XSecure uses hardware information from the device where XTAccess is running. This
means it is impossible to exchange licenses or codes between devices.
Please refer to the XSecure User’s Manual to:
• Start XSecure Manager
• Collect information about your device
• Request a license key from the EVS support
• Import new license keys

5.2 Metadata
These Metadata Tags can be used in Unicode:
• ClipName
• Keyword
• VarID
The UmID cannot be Unicode.
5.3 Filename
XTAccess never generates files with Unicode filenames. Files are named
"UnicodeFilename.mxf" instead of the "real" Unicode clipname.
XTAccess is capable to use files with Unicode f ilenam es. These files c an be located in a
folder having a Unicode f ilename. And these Unicode f iles can be used into scan folder
without any trouble.

7. XML Jobs Scan
7.1 Introduction
XTAccess is triggered by external applications (like IPDirector), mainly via XML files.
XTAccess scans pre-defined folders to check for new XML jobs to process.
The details of the XM L format will be described in the f ollowing sections, especially for
each job type.
The scan process of XML jobs is anyway identical for any type of job.
7.2 Job types
The table below shows t he list of all jobs availab le according to the version number of
IPDirector.
