The following sections explain rules.
About configuring rules
The Rules Automation Settings page dynamically offers the appropriate options
based on the currently selected source, as follows:
Rules when the source is high-res material
These rules create MPEG and storyboard proxy from high-res material. This is also
known as a “scavenge” operation. Depending on the desired behavior of the system
you may have to create multiple rules for the MPEG creation. There are two types of
rules, as follows:
• Create while Recording — This rule causes MPEG to be created while the system
is still encoding the high-res material.
• Recreate Proxy if Content is Modified — This rule will cause the system to delete the
proxy associated with high-res material if the material has its content modified. It
will then recreate the MPEG proxy for the material. This rule is normally
configured for K2 storage systems.
The following takes place by default with both these types of rules:
• When the Rules Wizard starts up, it traverses a high-res device MDI to see if there
is any material that does not have MPEG proxy associated with it, according to the
currently configured rules. The Rules Wizard will only check the system once after
startup to see if it needs to create any of this proxy.
• Storyboard elements are used for thumbnails, so in effect thumbnails are generated
by default.
Rules when the source is MPEG proxy
These rules create storyboards from MPEG proxy. Storyboard elements are used for
thumbnails, so in effect thumbnails are generated by default.
Tips for configuring rules
• Configure one rule per folder or “location”. Multiple overlapping rules that access
the same folder can produce looping behaviors and other unexpected results.
• If using SmartBin Encoders, don’t use Advanced Encoder rules for ingest.
