Data Object Model
The VidiControl back-end is a distributed system consisting of several modules for specific tasks. These modules are responsible for planning and executing bookings, communicating with the Vidispine suite and interacting with third-party systems.
Jobs
This section describes the objects related to a job. From a user’s perspective, a job is represented as a BookingDefinition. Jobs can be recording jobs, router switch jobs, etc.
Resources
Resources are responsible for performing a command. Some examples of resources are for instance a recorder or a router. Resources are booked to perform a job. To perform a recording job, several (optional) resource devices have to be controlled: A source device to deliver a signal, a router device to switch, a recording device to record.
The system manages atomic resources as devices.
