Adtec digital mediaHUB (version 02.00.13) - Manual (Page 17)

15 Chapter 4 - Encoding Files
Live Feed Encode
Connect - Step 1
- Connect to the mediaHUB server.
- Confirm that your mediaHUB Server reports back as CONNECTED.
Source - Step 2
Prior to encoding a file, you will be using the main panel of the application
to verify and control your source.
- Confirm that the Interface setting reads as NONE :Schedule encode
mode.
- The current time will be displayed in the Current Position input box.
- Enter the time you wish to start your encode into the In input box.
- Set your encode duration. You can enter it manually or use the quick
duration buttons (15s, 30s, 60s or 120s). This will automatically fill the
OUT input box.
Encode - Step 3
- Verify the status information at the top of the Panel.
- Enter a name for the file you wish to encode in the Content ID input
box. Some Adtec products require files names of up to 8 characters, but
MediaHUB can support up to 32 characters in the content ID. Do not
include the file extension as mediaHUB automatically appends the file name
with the proper extension. The Content ID is all that is required to encode
a file.
- Click the ENCODE button. This will schedule your encode to occur at
the time designated. A popup box will appear letting you know that the
encode has been scheduled. You can only schedule one encode at a time.
- Once the file begins encoding, the status of the encode is shown in the
top of the panel. The activity status, the length of the encode, the encoding
parameters and the bits per second of the encode is shown. When the file
has completed encoding, you may review it before accepting or rejecting it.
Review - Step 4
- While the file is being encoded, you have the ability to abort the encode
by clicking on the Reject button within the Review tab at any time.
- To view a confidence decode, you will need to have a monitor set up
specifically for the decoded file to play through and it should be connected
to the YC or C Out decoder port and the Audio 1 Out port if audio is
present. Unless you have the decode delay turned off, the decode will
automatically begin playback. Within the Review tab, you have standard
VTR controls to manage the file.
- If the file is as you intended, you can accept the file by clicking on the
Accept button. Accepting the file will save the file for you. The location of
the saved file depends on the File Transfer setting previously configured.
- If it is not as intended, then click the Reject button and start the process
again beginning with Step 2.
