EVS IP Director Integration [VC 21.3 GEN]

It is possible to map data inside “log info” (<Log>) in a EVS metadata file to Vidispine metadata.

Example

Import the EVS metadata file as a sidecar file with your essence file:

NONE

POST /import?URL=/vidispine/demo.dv&sidecar=file:///path/to/evs.metadata.xml"

so a EVS metadata that looks like this:

HTML/XML

<EVS_Metadatas Revision="1">
  <General_Infos>
                ...
  </General_Infos>
  <Clips_Infos>
    <Clip>
      <XFile_Clip_Infos>
                                ...
      </XFile_Clip_Infos>
      <Other_Clip_Infos>
                                ...
        <Logs>
          <Log DBVersion="0" GUID="2b9de077-8e4d-4e48-ac8f-b2cdc05b0805" Version="2.0.1">
            <Date>21-Apr-2013</Date>
            <TC>15:00:33:01 </TC>
            <DateUser>21-Apr-2013</DateUser>
            <TCUser>15:00:33:01 </TCUser>
            <TCTable>1</TCTable>
            <Description>Mål av: 11. Selakovic, Stefan</Description>
            <TapeID />
            <InterestLevel>0</InterestLevel>
            <Colour>0</Colour>
            <AvidColour>#000000</AvidColour>
            <Keywords>
              <Keyword Type="Keyword">Mål</Keyword>
              <Keyword Type="Keyword">HBK</Keyword>
              <Keyword Type="Participant">11. Selakovic, Stefan</Keyword>
            </Keywords>
            <AutomaticKeywords>
              <AutomaticKeyword Description="" Header="Attendance" Type="NUMBER">4011</AutomaticKeyword>
              <AutomaticKeyword Description="" Header="Away Team" Type="TEXT">Kalmar FF</AutomaticKeyword>
              <AutomaticKeyword Description="" Header="HalfTimeScore" Type="TEXT">1-0</AutomaticKeyword>
           </AutomaticKeywords>
          </Log>

      </Other_Clip_Infos>
    </Clip>
  </Clips_Infos>
</EVS_Metadatas>

will be translated to Vidispine metadata like:

Please note that the values in <AutomaticKeyword>s will be mapped as global metadata (with timespan: (-INF, +INF)), so it is a good place to store the metadata of the whole essence file.
