Transferring Sequences to Vantage
This topic describes a typical method (among others) of using Media Composer to send
sequences to the Telestream Playback service for processing by a Vantage workflow.
1. In Media Composer, select a sequence from a bin directory.
2. Select Transfer > Send To Playback > <Playback Device> or right-click the sequence
and select Send To Playback > <Playback Device>.
3. Provide the sequence with a tape ID (no spaces allowed). The Interplay Transfer
Engine won’t transfer the sequence without a Tape ID.
4. Click OK to send the clip.
The sequence is sent to the Interplay Transfer Engine, which sends it to the selected
playback device. (If you attempt to send a sequence with the same tape ID as one
already in the Transfer Engine an error displays. To overwrite the tape ID name, select
the Overwrite option.)
The Interplay Transfer Engine connects with the Playback service to save the media as a
TIFO file in the destination path specified by the playback device you selected.
Note: If there are un-rendered effects in the timeline, Media Composer renders the
sequence automatically before the transfer starts.
When the sequence has been transferred, the TIFO file in the target folder is ingested
by the Watch action in your workflow for processing.
