1. As transcoding is not yet available with XML job file, you have to configure
XTAccess in transcoding mode.
2. An external system, for example IPDirector, sends an XML file to XTAccess to
request the backup of a given clip or rewrap of a given file in native EVS codec
format
3. XTAccess processes the XML file:
a. It gets the clip content from EVS or the file that has to be backed or
rewrapped up.
b. It generates a backup file of the clip or a rewrap file
At the same time, XTAccess transcodes the clip in the selected codec format.
See configuration below.
c. It stores the backup file/rewrap file in the target folder specified by the
external system. The metadata of the clip are either included in the file (in
EVS MXF) or sent via an XML file.
Remark:
There is only one status for the transcoding on the fly. So if the backup or the transcoding
fails: The whole job will fail.
15.2 Codecs supported
See XTAccess_codecs document
15.3 Local XTAccess Settings (non XML)
Transcoding XTAccess settings are not supported by XML. They must therefore be
specified in the local settings of the XML Jobs Scan (see section 7.3.3 ‘XML Scan
Settings’ on page 23).
• Create Additional Codec File: Select this option if you want to transcode on the fly.
o Target Path: This is the destination target path used for the transcoding file. This
path can be entered manually or by browsing Windows Explorer with the
associated button.
o Transcoding profile: This is the XML profile used by XTAccess which defines
the codec and parameter of the codec used by XTAccess to Transcode the file.
You can find some encoder profiles into the “ C:\Program Files\EVS
Broadcast Equipment\XTAccess\Encoder Profiles\Default EVS
Profiles 2.0” folder.
