2. Rules Wizard Initiates Transfer. When an 
appropriate Advanced encoder becomes 
available, jobs are pulled from the Rules Wizard 
database and a transfer is initiated. The transfer 
service streams (via FTP) the asset from the 
hi-res system and creates proxy (depending on 
the configured rules) to a configured storage 
location. If rules dicatate, this proxy creation 
occurs while the high-res material is still 
recording. Then the transfer service 
communicates to the Resolver to associate the 
proxy and hi-res material. Once the proxy is 
created the transfer service notifies the Proxy 
MDI.
3. Startup. At server startup, the Rules 
Wizard gets from the MDIs a list of the 
material on the hi-res system and on the 
proxy system, to account for any 
material created when the server was 
not running. The Resolver is updated 
and if related proxy does not exist as 
defined by the Rules Wizard, jobs are 
created and stored in the Rules Wizard 
database. 
1. Material Created. 
The MDI monitors the 
high-res system (K2 
system or News DSM). 
When hi-res material 
creation is detected the 
MDI notifies the Rules 
Wizard. If rules apply to 
the high-res material 
location, the Rules 
Wizard checks to see if 
the material already has 
proxy associated with it. 
If not, a job is created 
and stored in the 
database.
The Proxy MDI can also 
trigger this interaction 
by notifying the Rules 
Wizard of proxy MPEG 
creation.
