Add live monitor encoders
Add live monitor encoders
If your system uses live monitor encoders, add them to the system as follows:
1. If you have not already done so, cable and configure for network access similar to
the MediaFrame server.
2. Connect the audio/video feed for an ingest channel.
3. Add live monitor encoders on the Ingest Scheduler Live Feeds configuration page.
4. On each live monitor encoder, start Windows Media Encoder. There should be a
Windows Media Encoder shortcut on the Windows desktop.
5. Open the Aurora Browse application and on the Ingest page verify that the video
stream appears.
Proxy troubleshooting tools
Timecode Check — This is a utility provided on single-channel encoders that will
display the timecode being fed into the Adrienne timecode board. This is valuable for
checking that house time is being read when setting up a single-channel encoder. No
Aurora Browse services should be running when using this utility.
Ingest Client — This encoder utility exercises a single-channel encoder to test the
ability to encode mpeg and initiate record on the high-res video server.
Transfer Client — This encoder utility is used to test scavenge and transcode
operations.
Router Gateway Client — This utility allows you to test the connection between the
Router Gateway and the router control system.
