1 Introduction

Oracle DIVAdirector is a tool for interacting with existing Oracle DIVArchive systems. The User Interface (UI) is delivered graphically through a web browser.

System Overview

DIVAdirector provides a multiorganizational, multigroup, multiuser and multi-task environment for DIVArchive users. It has powerful tools to locate content by searching any metadata field available. You view content with the built-in media player, and can precisely find the frames being searched for using the player controls. Once the content is discovered, the full resolution video to be restored may be scheduled, a Shot List may be built, and content can be sent to an editing application or a defined DIVArchive Source/Destination.

The DIVAdirector User Interface (UI) screen consists of the following elements:
