2. Rules Wizard Initiates Transfer. When an
appropriate Advanced encoder becomes
available, jobs are pulled from the Rules Wizard
database and a transfer is initiated. The transfer
service streams (via FTP) the asset from the hi-
res system and creates proxy (depending on the
configured rules) to a configured storage
location. If rules dicatate, this proxy creation
occurs while the high-res material is still
recording. Then the transfer service
communicates to the Resolver to associate the
proxy and hi-res material. Once the proxy is
created the transfer service notifies the Proxy
MDI.
3. Startup. At server startup, the Rules
Wizard gets from the MDIs a list of the
material on the hi-res system and on the
proxy system, to account for any
material created when the server was
not running. The Resolver is updated
and if related proxy does not exist as
defined by the Rules Wizard, jobs are
created and stored in the Rules Wizard
database.
1. Material Created.
The MDI monitors the
high-res system (Profile
XP or News DSM).
When hi-res material
creation is detected the
MDI notifies the Rules
Wizard. If rules apply to
the high-res material
location, the Rules
Wizard checks to see if
the material already has
proxy associated with it.
If not, a job is created
and stored in the
database.
The Proxy MDI can also
trigger this interaction
by notifying the Rules
Wizard of proxy MPEG
creation.
