3.5.3 Configure Local Preview of Video Files

If a Viz Engine is used for local preview (for example, Viz Engine installed on a control

client machine) the FFDShow codec package and a Matroska splitter, must be installed.

Note: The procedures, detailed below, are only relevant for low resolution

versions of video clips to be previewed on Viz One. In most cases this happens

when control applications, such as Viz Trio, are used to, for example, preview a full

screen clip. High resolution video clip versions do not need this codec installation.

The following procedures will guide you through the necessary installation steps:

• To install codecs for local preview

• To set a preferred decoder

• To register the Matroska Splitter

• To unregister the Matroska Splitter

• To configure preview of clips stored on Viz One

To install codecs for local preview

After the FFDShow codec package has been installed:

• Make sure that Viz Engine or generally no applications are excluded (there is an

inclusion and exclusion list in FFDShow)

• Make sure that there are no other codec packages installed on the machine that will

interfere with FFDShow or the Matroska splitter.

Note: A license is required for clip playback as FFDShow does not come with a

decoding license.
