Output File Naming and Delivery
The P2 system creates files with unique names of random numbers and letters. FlipFactory
preserves the original P2 filenames through the transcoding process.
FlipFactory produces an output file name which consists of the root name of the incoming file,
appended with Append to File Name text, if any. You can supply this text in the Product editor
panel. The suffix is the default wrapper suffix of the output file or type.
FlipFactory does not use global unique IDs from the MXF headers or XML file.
Regardless of where your files originate, FlipFactory always delivers the output file to the directory
or system specified in the Destination folder in your factory.
If you don’t specify a Destination, FlipFactory always delivers (saves) output files in the default
FlipFactory destination – the store folder. Using a Destination, you can specify one of 20+ systems
where the media is stored in a single directory - local folders, network servers, FTP sites, other
digital media on-air servers, etc.
P2 Destination Features
The P2 Local Folder destination uses the MXF codec to create the P2 CONTENT directory
structure including all sub-directories, and produces the correct files using P2 naming conventions
for P2 compatibility, including audio, video, and XML files.
The P2 Destination is intended for use in factories that need to produce P2-compatible output.
Examples include a factory that produces P2 media for ingest by an existing production P2
transcoding factory, or a factory that produces P2 media for storage directly on a P2 card for use in
P2 equipment or other compatible video systems.
