Insert the P2 Card

With your factory’s product and P2 Local Folder monitor correctly configured, insert a P2 card into

any slot in the reader.

For each new P2 XML file detected, a job is automatically submitted to the specified FlipFactory

account. FlipFactory’s MXF codec parses the XML file to process the associated media files and

produce the output specified in your factory.

Accessing Media Copied to a Folder on the FlipFactory Server

To access P2 media you’ve copied from a mounted P2 card into a local folder directly on the

FlipFactory server, follow these steps:

Set Up the Factory With a P2 Local Folder Monitor

1. Create a new folder directly on your FlipFactory server and name it appropriately for your P2

media – P2_Media_In, for example.

2. Add a P2 Local Folder monitor to your P2 factory (for each card slot you want media pro-

cessed from.

3. Configure the target directory in the Monitored Folder field – click Browse, navigate to the tar-

get folder (C:\P2_Media_In, in this example) and select it, then click Select.

Local Folder monitor first displays “Initializing” in the Status column. When the Status column

displays “Online: C:\P2_Media_In, no new file(s) detected”, the monitor is operational.

With your factory’s product and P2 Local Folder monitor correctly configured, you are ready to

process P2 media.

Copy the Media to the Target Directory

Open the target folder being monitored by your factory and create a CONTENT folder in it, if one is

not already present.
