Searching XMP and EXIF Data in Content Server Applying XMP and EXIF Data as Text Overlay to a Rendition

Working With Image and Video Conversions 4-15 By default, Inbound Refinery is now configured to send EXIF and XMP data to Content Server, where it is indexed and available for searching as text.

4.3.4.1 Searching XMP and EXIF Data in Content Server

By default, XMP schema and EXIF data are extracted by Inbound Refinery and passed to Content Server. Content Server then displays the data on the Image Data tab of a digital asset. If OracleTextSearch is installed and enabled, the data is indexed and available for searching through a full-text search. To enable searching on a specific criteria in the XMP or EXIF metadata, a placeholder field must be enabled on the Content Server user interface and the search collection must be rebuilt. Once done, users can search for content using the specific criteria in the data. To enable an XMPor EXIF data field on the user interface and make the specific criteria available for searching, do these steps:

1. On the Content Server, expand the Administration tray and click DAM

Adminstration . The DAM Search Fields Administration page is displayed.

2. Expand the section under the XMP Schema Categories that has the data field to

enable on the user interface. For example, to search for digital images based on the date and time the image was take, expand the EXIF category.

3. Find and enable the placeholder field to be used for searching. For example, in the

EXIF catagory, scroll to the XMP Date Time Original and enable it.

4. Click Update.

5. Rebuild the search index. For information on rebuilding the search index, see the

content server documentation.

4.3.4.2 Applying XMP and EXIF Data as Text Overlay to a Rendition

4.4 Configuring For Video Conversion

Digital Asset Manager requires a third-party conversion application to render video assets checked in to Content Server. Currently, Digital Asset Manager is designed to work with Telestream’s FlipFactory version 6.0 and 6.1 http:www.telestream.netproductsflipfactory.htm. This section has the following topics: ■ Installing FlipFactory on page 4-16 ■ Installing Digital Asset Manager Video Plug-ins on page 4-16 ■ Ensuring the JDOM Library is Installed for FlipFactory 6.0 on page 4-17 ■ Sharing Directories with FlipFactory on page 4-17 ■ Setting the Conversion Engine Shared Directory Path on page 4-18 Note: Enabling a field in the user interface creates a placeholder field in content server and allows the information to be indexed and searched against. It does not modify database tables or allow information to be entered or modified in the field for storage in the database.
