6 In the Priority list, click the level of priority that you want to assign to the job. The
priority of the job determines the order the media files are processed by the available

normal, and then those set as low.

Performing a failover to the backup (Standby) deployment
In most instances your account will be set up on a pair of deployments with one acting as
the backup (Standby) for the other account (Master) in case a failure. If the Master account
experiences failures, the Stratus Monitoring team may perform a failover to the Standby
account, in which case the Standby becomes the Master.
When a failover occurs, the instances of the File Processing Node which are registered with
the original Master account are no longer connected to the active deployment. To switch a
File Processing Node instance to the new Master account, you must manually perform the
failover.
To perform the failover:
1 Launch the File Processing Node.
2 Click Failover.
Monitoring and managing media processing jobs
If your media files are not compatible with the SSP-3801 card, you can convert them to a
supported format using the File Processing Node application (see
Converting media using
the File Processing Node application , on page 69) or the GV STRATUS Playout Gateway (see
Registering media and importing schedules using the GV STRATUS Playout Gateway , on
page 59).
The Media Processing page displays any pending or in progress pre-processing jobs
originating from the File Processing Node or GV STRATUS Playout Gateway instances
registered as devices in your account. As jobs are submitted to the processing queue, they
appear in the Media Processing Jobs table. When a File Processing Node becomes available,
it automatically selects a job from the processing queue, and the processing status is
displayed on the Media Processing page.
Note: Do not use a Media Conversion Processor to create proxy media files.
Use the Create Proxy Media checkbox in the GV STRATUS Playout Gateway.
