Grass Valley iTX System v.2.6 - Manual (Page 90)

Configuring a Media Watcher
In most iTX systems, the registration delay is set to zero. It is only necessary to set a delay for
copying processes during which the media file is not locked (e.g. FTP transfer).
1.
To set a registration delay, enter the value for the length of the delay (in seconds) in the
Delay after file copy box.
Set the high-water mark for the Inbox folder
The Media Watcher stops copying media files to the Inbox folder from external file stores when
the amount of disk space used by the Inbox folder reaches the high-water mark. This is a setting
that controls the amount of disk space allocated to the Inbox-folder; it is given as a percentage
of the total available space on the drive that contains the Inbox.
1.
Enter a percentage value in the High Water Mark (%) box to set the disk-space limit for the
Inbox.
Apply the Inbox high-water mark to Media folders on iTX Media Stores
When you set a high-water mark for the Inbox folder, you can apply the same value to Media
folders that iTX manages; i.e. ones on iTX Media Stores that appear in the File Stores list.
1.
Select Apply to All if you want Media folders on iTX Media Stores to use no more disk
space than the percentage level that you set for the Inbox folder.
In the Store Location Options dialog for each iTX Media Store, the Media Watcher
overwrites the high-water mark with the Inbox value. See below, “Adding a file store of the
store type to the File Stores list”.
Adding a file store of the store type to the File Stores list
The first time the Media Watcher starts, the File Stores list is blank. You need to add at least
one file store of the store type, i.e. an iTX Media Store. This must map to a folder called
"Media" on the iTX Media Store.
To add the file store, you use the Store Location Options dialog:
Through this dialog, you create a file store and give it a simple name; the name appears in the
File Store box. You enter details of the folder path in the Path box.
You can specify a high-water mark for the file store – a limit to the total amount of space that
media files in the mapped folder can take up. The Media Watcher stops adding media files to
the file store when the used space reaches the high-water mark.
