Oracle DIVAdirector is a tool for interacting with existing Oracle DIVArchive systems. The User Interface (UI) is delivered graphically through a web browser.
DIVAdirector provides a multi-organizational, multi-group, multiuser and multi-task environment for DIVArchive users. It has powerful tools to locate content by searching any metadata field available. Users view content with the built-in media player, and can precisely find the frames being searched for using the player's 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 or destination.
The DIVAdirector UI screen consists of the following elements:
Displays the logo, a basic search box and login information at the top of the screen.
Consists of a panel bar on the left side of the screen that includes the following items:
You can create, execute, view and save a query. Queries may be basic (single keyword search) or advanced (allowing for search criteria to be specified on up to five fields in addition to the basic single keyword search).
You organize some video clips in a single location using Work Bins.
You create, view and edit lists of video clips in a Shot List.
Displays a list of options pertaining to DIVArchive Operations.
You can perform (minor) administrative tasks.
The main content area is the major portion of the screen. It displays information based on items selected in the navigation tree on the left side of the screen.
