Configure MPEG encoder: Single-channel encoder
This page configures the parameters the encoder uses when it creates the MPEG
proxy assets.
Test: Encoder stand-alone stage
The following test exercises system functionality exclusive to the basic
configurations for the single-channel encoder. A successful test verifies that the basic
configurations are correct.
Test description: A short test clip (high-res) is recorded on the Profile Media Server,
while at the same time the low-res proxy asset is created on the NAS.
NOTE: Run this test only in the stand-alone stage, with machines that have not yet
been added as managed devices (as in the + Server stage). Once the server is
connected, this test can result in corrupt database records.
Run the test as follows:
1. Make sure that the system is not in use.
NOTE: Running these tests will tie up a channel and could collide with commands
from the Ingest Schedule page. Inform operators that they must not use the
channels under test.
2. Click Start | Programs | Thomson | Event Viewer . Event Viewer opens.
