NewsBrowse Installation and Configuration Guide

25 May 2004

Chapter 3 Configuring the NewsBrowse System

You can define six ISS rules, two for each asset-type. To ensure consistency, for each
asset-type you require, add both rules.

The following table maps the six ISS rules and provides an example text string for
each rule, as appears in the Existing Rules box when the rule is added.

Refer to

“Configure Rules Automation: Sequential encoder” on page 90

for

sequential encoder rules.

Test: ISS + Server stage

The following test exercises system functionality exclusive to the basic
configurations for the ISS + Server stage. A successful test verifies that the basic
configurations are correct.

Test description: Trigger rules by creating 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.

NOTE: Running these tests will tie up a channel and could collide with commands
from the Ingest Schedule page. Inform operators that they must not use the
channels under test.

2. Stop the Thomson Rules Wizard service on the NewsBrowse server.

3. Start the Thomson Resolver service and the Thomson Metadata service on the

NewsBrowse server.

4. From the NewsBrowse server, open the NewsBrowse application.

5. Ingest a short test clip. On the related tab, verify that only the MPEG proxy asset

is created. This could take a few minutes after the ingest recording completes.

6. Start the Thomson Rules Wizard service on the NewsBrowse server. In the

NewsBrowse application on the related tab, verify that the thumbnail, storyboard,
or Real Video assets are created for the MPEG asset, as per your currently
configured rules. This could take a few minutes.

7. Ingest a short test clip. On the related tab, verify that the MPEG proxy asset is

created and the other assets are created as well. This could take a few minutes.
