– Prior to conforming via the SpycerNet for the first time, it is recom-
mended to initiate a rescan of the watched folders on each system
involved in the conforming process (update of the Spycer data-
base). Before updating see to it that the configuration settings men-
tioned above are set appropriately. A rescan is mandatory if the
'Fast scan' option was activated on a system.
– If a search via the SpycerNet persistently fails, make once again sure
that the Spycer database on the systems where the search is per-
formed is up-to-date.
– A conforming with source timecode with Spycer is limited to the
generic source timecode.
– When conforming on a remote system in the SpycerNet, real-time
processes on this system may prohibit an answer with the result
that no clips will be found (time-out). Make sure that no real-time
processes are running on the remote system.
– An answer of remote systems can also be prohibited when there is a
lot of traffic in the network. Performing the conforming at a differ-
ent time may yield better results.
– Copy processes via the ’transfer data’ feature of the conforming
tool can be paused manually on the remote Spycer or automatically
via a real-time process of the DVS software. However, in the con-
forming mode they will still be displayed as ’Is transferring’. Via the
tab Job List of Spycer you can check the state of copy processes
and, if required, resume them.
– For an improved performance it is recommended to upgrade each
Spycer stand-alone application involved in the conforming process
to version 1.4.3.2 or higher.
