Chapter 3 Configuring the NewsBrowse System
Encoder to scavenge newly edited material that you place in an “Outbox” folder.
Refer to
“Design considerations - NewsBrowse with NewsEdit” on page 11 .
To dedicate the Advanced Encoder to a folder, do the following:
• For MDI Type, select Material .
• For MDI Name, select a valid MDI Name (other than “*”). To scavenge material
in an “Outbox” folder on a K2 Storage System, select the News MDI.
• For Storage Location, select a valid Storage Location (other than “*”). To
scavenge material in an “Outbox” folder on a K2 Storage System, select the
specific folder.
If the NewsBrowse system uses both Single Channel Encoders and Advanced
Encoders, you must configure so as to guarantee the generation of Storyboard/
Thumbnails for the proxy generated by the Single Channel Encoder. In this case do
the following:
• For MDI Type, select Proxy .
• For MDI Name, enter “*” or select a valid Proxy MDI name.
• For Storage Location, enter “*” or select a valid location name.
You can dedicate the Advanced encoder to a particular Proxy NAS location. This
assumes that for a single Proxy MDI (PROXY1) there are multiple NAS locations.
• To configure the Advanced encoder to process proxy media on all locations,
enter “*”.
• To configure the Advanced encoder to process proxy media on one location,
select that location as the Proxy Storage Location.
Configuration rules:
• If the MDI name is “*”, the Storage Location must be “*”.
• If the configuration file is manually updated (not recommended) to disable both
Material Source and Proxy Source, the following occurs:
- Proxy Transfer Service will log an error message “Error: Both Scavenge
Mode and ISS Mode are disabled. This Encoder will not be able to do any
encoding” in the log.
- On the Advanced Encoding Control configuration page, red text “Error: Both
Scavenge Mode and ISS Mode are disabled. This Encoder will not be able to
do any encoding” is displayed.
