Grass Valley iTX System v.2.6 - Manual (Page 282)

Using iTX Desktop layouts for system administration
In a recording job, Ingest Manager creates a video clip for the media file it records onto an iTX
Media Store. When it does this, it uses the OPUS 2 Service to name the clip. The service assigns
names based on naming rules.
You use the Naming Rule Administrator to create, edit and manage the naming rules.
After you create a rule, it becomes available for operators to select for an instant ingest or a
scheduled booking.
Rule elements
A rule consists of elements, which you put together in the Naming Rule Administrator.
Available elements appear in the Rule Elements list. They are grouped into categories: Date,
Time, Text and Sequence.
Some elements denote fixed text that appears in a name. Other elements are fields. A field is a
space into which the OPUS 2 Service inserts text when it creates the name. For example, you
use date and time fields where you want a name to include the date and time of the recording.
In defining a rule, you select the elements that you want it to include and add them to the
Current Rule list. The Preview box displays the resulting name, using current values.
Usually, a name formed from a rule includes a fixed-text part and a field. The rule for this type
of name can contain Text, Date and Time elements.
Example: Opening Ceremony 12/08 - 14:00
In this name, “Opening Ceremony … - …” is fixed text, while “12/08” and “14:00” are
entries resulting from date and time fields.
A name may contain a sequence number: each time the OPUS 2 Service creates a name based
on the rule, it increases the sequence number by one. The rule for this type of name includes a
Sequence element.
Example: Opening Ceremony 001
In this name, “Opening Ceremony” is fixed text, while “001” is a number in an
automatically generated sequence. The next clip is called “Opening Ceremony 002”,
and so on.
