Using Telestream Playback Service for Interplay | Transfer

Implementing Avid-to-Vantage Media Processing Workflows

Avid Integration Guide

VideoID in Name. Unique material identifier specified in TapeID or VideoID attributes

in the Interplay environment.

NameID in Name. Display name of the associated sequence in the Interplay

environment.

MobID in Name.The internal system identifier used by Interplay to track the video

sequence.

TIFO File Destination. Click Browse to navigate and select a server and folder or

manually enter a fully-qualified path where the files are to be stored for retrieval by the

target Vantage workflow, which monitors the destination path when the workflow is

activated. The path may be a local path—although it is unlikely that all systems (Avid

and Vantage) are running on the same computer—or a network server path. It should

be a share with full read/write privileges, so that Vantage can access the media.

This path must be the same path configured in the Watch action of your target Vantage

workflow (Setting up an Avid-Export Vantage Workflow).

When you’re done, click OK.

Deleting a Playback Device Entry

If you delete an Interplay Transfer Engine playback device, you should also delete the

associated playback device entry in the Playback Service Manager.

Restarting the Playback Service

After modifying playback device entries in the Playback Service Manager, you must

restart the Playback service to pick up the current set of entries for use by the Interplay

Transfer Engine.

To restart the Telestream Playback service, choose one of these options:

• In the Playback Service Manager, click the Restart TS_PlaybackService button.

—OR—

• Open the Windows Services (Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services) panel,

locate the TS_PlaybackService service, and click Restart.

Note: If you attempt to exit the Playback Service Manager after making changes to

playback device entries, the program will display a restart dialog to remind you. Click

Yes to confirm that you want to restart the service.
