GV STRATUS Playout
Operator Manual
When GV STRATUS Playout receives multiple registrations with the same file name, it
compiles the registrations under one asset. Therefore, the asset is registered with one
media file and a choice of locations from which it is available. The SSP-3801 card will
automatically select the most efficient location from which to download the media file.
Importing media files manually into the watch folder
To import a media file:
1 Launch the GV STRATUS Playout Gateway.
2 Configure the following:
• If you want to allow media files to be deleted from the watch folder, select the
Allow Media Deletes checkbox.
• If you want to automatically create MP4 proxy media for the media files, select
Create Proxy Media.
3 Click Manual Import File(s).
4 Select the media files that you want to register.
5 Click Open.
Synchronizing the registered media files
The Re-Sync button launches a process that scans the watch folder and re-registers the
media files with GV STRATUS Playout. Synchronizing the watch folder should rarely be
required. It might be necessary in cases when media files were added to the watch folder
while the GV STRATUS Playout Gateway was offline.
To re-sync the media files:
1 Launch the GV STRATUS Playout Gateway.
2 Click Re-Sync.
Transforming XML files using GV STRATUS Playout Gateway
The XSL Transformation Processor is used to perform XSL transformations on XML files such
as BXF, iTX Asset XML or iTX XML schedules before or after they are processed by GV
STRATUS Playout Gateway. The XSL Transformation file processor instances can be chained
together so that the Output Folder of one instance can be the Inbox Folder for another
instance; however, two instances cannot have the same folder set as their Inbox Folder.
To set up the XSL Transformation file processor:
1 Launch the GV STRATUS Playout Gateway.
2 Ensure that GV STRATUS Playout Gateway is configured as described in Configuring the
watch folder , on page 62.
3 Click the Add XSL Transformation Processor button and complete the XSL
Transformation file processor instance as required:
• In the Inbox Folder field, type the path to the folder from which the XSL
Transformation Processor obtains the XML files to be transformed or click the
browse button to choose a folder on the network.
