Grass Valley Xbuilder Vertigo Suite v.4.8 - Manual (Page 49)

Vertigo Suite v.4.6 Release Notes (GA) 5-3
Performing Quality Control (QC) and Media Check (MC)
Setting up the QC and MC workflows
Prior to using the Vertigo QC and MC workflows, some of the Vertigo Suite components
(i.e. destination folders, Xbuilder, device manager, licensing) must be configured to ensure
the proper coordination of resources.
The following sections provide instructions for configuring the Vertigo Suite for the QC and
MC workflows:
1.
“Create and set up the Subfolders and Approved Category folders” on page 5-3
2. “Specify Xbuilder’s settings for the QC and MC workflows” on page 5-4
3. “Associate channels to devices in Xbuilder’s Device Manager” on page 5-5
4. “Verify that the system templates are installed and publish them to the SWCG” on page 5-6
5. “Verify the presence of the QC license” on page 5-8
Create and set up the Subfolders and Approved Category folders
We recommend that you create the Subfolders and Approved Category folders in advance
of using the QC workflow’s Make List. The Make List’s S
UBFOLDERS column specifies into
which subcategory folders on the central Xmedia Server, new assets will be ingested to.
Meanwhile, the A
PPROVED C ATEGORY column identifies the folder into which the assets will
be moved once they have been approved. See page 5-9 for more information about
creating and using the Make List file.
A compelling reason to set up the Approved Category folders in advance is that it allows
you to assign publish rules to these folders. That way, when the assets are moved from the
subfolders upon approval, the assets will automatically be published to the appropriate
playout device(s).
N
OTE
If you choose not to pre-configure the Approved Category folder for auto-publish, you will
have to manually publish the assets before being able to preview them on a device or before
using the MC workflow.

1.
Open Xplorer.
2. Create a new subfolder within the Clips and/or CelAnimations root categories for the
ingested asset files.
a.
Right-click on the Clips root category and select the N EW C ATEGORY command.
b. Specify a name for the subfolder in the N EW C ATEGORY dialog box and click OK.
c. Repeat steps a and b for the CelAnimations root category.
3. Create a new folder within the Clips and/or CelAnimations root categories for the
Approved Category.
a.
Right-click on the Clips root category and select the N EW C ATEGORY command.
b. Specify a name for the Approved subfolder in the N EW C ATEGORY dialog box and
click OK.
