Advanced encoder + Server stage
The following table maps the “Create Proxy” rules and provides an example text
string for each rule, as appears in the Existing Rules box when the rule is added.
Test: Advanced encoder + Server stage - high-res source
The following test exercises system functionality exclusive to the rules for creating
MPEG proxy, storyboard, and thumbnail assets from a Profile high-res source clip. A
successful test verifies that the basic configurations for the rules are correct.
Test description: Trigger rules by creating/modifying a clip on a Profile Media server
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.
2. Make sure the Thomson Rules Wizard service is off on the NewsBrowse server.
3. Start the Thomson Resolver service and the Thomson Metadata service on the
NewsBrowse server.
4. Click Start | Programs | Thomson | Event Viewer to open Event Viewer.
5. On a Profile Media Server, copy a clip into a bin monitored by the Advanced
encoder.
6. On the NewsBrowse server, start the Thomson Rules Wizard. Watch Event Viewer
and verify that the proxy MPEG, storyboard, and thumbnail assets are created for
the clip.
7. On the Profile Media Server, copy another clip into the bin. Watch Event Viewer
and verify that the proxy MPEG, storyboard, and thumbnail assets are created for
the clip.
8. On the Profile Media Server, modify a clip (rename) in the bin. Watch Event
Viewer and verify that the proxy MPEG, storyboard, and thumbnail assets are
created for the modified clip.
9. If you have a “is recording” rule configured for high-res clips, on the Profile Media
Server, record a clip into a bin monitored by the Advanced Encoder. Watch Event
Viewer and verify that the proxy MPEG, storyboard, and thumbnail assets are
created (in real-time) as the clip is recorded.
