Configuring Media Composer for the Playback Service
Note: Be sure to coordinate with your Avid systems administrator to make these
changes or restart any computers.
To set up Media Composer to use the Playback service, follow these general steps:
1. Run Media Composer and display the Settings tab in the Bin window.
2. Double-click the Transfer item to display the Transfer Settings dialog.
3. In the Settings tab, select Direct Channel Output. Other settings may be configured
per your requirements.
4. In the TMClient.ini tab, make sure that the settings are appropriate for your network
environment.
5. Click OK when finished.
Note: For complete details on configuring Avid Media Composer, see its guide.
Setting up an Avid-Export Vantage Workflow
For each playback device you use, you need to create one or more Vantage workflows
to monitor the destination folder. When the workflow is activated, it polls the directory
and—for each new file delivered—it starts a job to process the media through the
workflow.
Figure 31. Playback Device Entry Dialog
Here is a simple, prototype workflow. Yours will be designed and configured to process
the media exported from Media Composer to Vantage, to suit your media processing
requirements.
The Watch action should be configured to poll the TIFO file destination path specified
in the playback device entry in the Telestream Playback Service Configuration Manager
(Managing The Telestream Playback Service).
Note: You can enable the Submit Immediately option in the Watch if you want to
start the job as soon as the file is created, and encode the media as it is being written.
