The MediaCmd Control SDK has been deprecated and is no longer available for sale. If you need to control external VTRs to restore content from a tape based archive, you may wish to consider Net-X-Code Server. Net-X-Code Server supports Sony Serial VTR, Sony/Panasonic/JVC Digital extensions, Odetics server protocol and VDCP server protocols, and can offer a wide range of additional features and benefits.

To discuss your needs:
For a look at Net-X-Code Server's Indexless Partial File Restore:

All protocols are automatically available and auto sensed. Connections to devices taken offline are automatically re-established, with a new protocol if the device is changed. Unsupported features (hardware seek, auto edit, edit on/edit off, shuttle, jog, var, dmc) are emulated by the serial control layer so your software doesn't have to.

Supported Protocols:

• Sony RS-422 Serial VTR Control
• Sony Serial Extensions
• Sony Digital Extensions
• JVC Serial Extensions
• Panasonic Serial Extensions
• Pioneer VDR 422 Emulation
• Pioneer Dual Head Emulation
• Odetics Server Protocol
• VDCP Clip Server Protocol
