On the NewsBrowse launch page, the “Smart Bin Encoder Status” page displays the
status of all Smart Bin Encoders in the system. This page displays the list of all jobs
attempted by the Smart Bin Encoders. For each job, the following are provided:
- encoder name,
- the source and destination file names,
- the time the job was run,
- job status (with error information if the job was unsuccessful), and
- job completion percentage (if job is currently running)
Check the Smart Bin Encoder Status page as you run the following test.
The following test exercises system functionality exclusive creating MPEG,
storyboard, and thumbnail proxy from a high-res source clip. A successful test verifies
that the basic configurations are correct.
ASK configuration, as in “MediaFrame stage” on page 59 , is required for this test.
Test description: Trigger proxy creation by placing high-res material in the location
monitored by the SmartBin Encoder.
Run the test as follows:
1. Make sure that the NewsBrowse system is not in use.
2. Start the Thomson Resolver service and the Thomson Metadata service on the
NewsBrowse server.
3. Start the Thomson SmartBin Proxy Transfer service on the SmartBin encoder.
4. Click Start | Programs | Thomson | Event Viewer to open Event Viewer.
5. Use Ingest Station to record to a SmartBin.
6. Watch Event Viewer and verify that the MPEG, storyboard, and thumbnail proxy
are created and copied to the NewsBrowse proxy NAS. Also verify that the
high-res media goes to the K2 high-res media storage.
