Test: Advanced encoder + Server stage - MPEG proxy source
The following test exercises system functionality exclusive to the rules for creating
storyboard and thumbnail proxy from MPEG proxy. A successful test verifies that the
basic configurations are correct. This test assumes that you are using single-channel
encoders for creating the MPEG proxy at ingest.
Test description: Trigger rules by creating a clip on a Profile system while the Rules
Wizard service is off, then on.
Run the test as follows:
1. Make sure that the NewsBrowse system is not in use.
NOTE: Inform operators that they must not use the channels under test.
2. Stop the Thomson Rules Wizard service on the NewsBrowse server.
3. Start the Thomson Resolver service and the Thomson Metadata service on the
NewsBrowse server.
4. From the NewsBrowse server, open the NewsBrowse application.
5. Ingest a short test clip. On the related tab, verify that only the MPEG proxy is
created.
6. Start the Thomson Rules Wizard service on the NewsBrowse server. In the
NewsBrowse application on the related tab, verify that the thumbnail and
storyboard proxy are created for the MPEG proxy, as per your currently configured
rules. This could take a few minutes, depending on clip length.
