Task “Transcode proxy with Transcoder S4M” [GL OG]

After configuration task "Transcode Proxy Item" can be used in a workflow.

HINT

The "Transcode proxy with TranscoderS4M" transcodes to the default proxy storage that can be defined in the storages section.
If one does not have a default proxy storage defined the task will fail.
The proxy storage must have a storage method with UNC for storage method type "Windows" configured in addition to a Vidispine usable storage method!


It has three input parameters:


SourceObjectUri:
Can be abstract URI of a File, Shape, or Item.
For the Watchfolder Ingest one can directly use the global WF parameter #SourcePlatformUri as input which will be a URI referencing a file.

HINT

The storage to which the SourceObjectUri refers must have a storage method with UNC for storage method type "Windows" configured in addition to a Vidispine usable storage method!


SourceShapeTag
If one can use an item as SourceObjectUri, one must specify the desired shape tag of the shape that will be transcoded. Otherwise, keep this field empty.

TargetShapeTag
The target shape tag of the transcoded file.

HINT

Currently, one must specify "vpms_proxy" as TargetShapeTag name and take care that a profile with same name is configured as described in the PROFILES section.


The "Transcode Proxy Item" will create the transcode file in the configure default proxy storage. If no default proxy storage is configured the task will fail.
Instead, one can use the "Transcode with TranscoderS4M" task.
