This form allows you to define the general characteristics of the Profile video server.
Fields automatically updated when the resources added are:
•Code: the path of the resource that you are editing is displayed
•Type: shows the resource type
•Number: indicates the ordinal number that identifies that resource in case others of the same type coexist.
Other fields to be filled in by the user are:
•Name: enter a description that identifies the resource (Example: Profile Workstation 1, Profile Ingest 1)
•Characteristics,
✓Preroll Time - Indicate the time (in mmsec.) the videoserver takes to carry out the preroll (default value 0)
✓Skip Time - Indicate the time (in mmsec.) the videoserver takes to skip from one video file to another during the on-air (default value 0).
✓CueRec Time- Indicate the time (in mmsec.) the videoserver takes to CueRec a video file (default value 0)
•IP address: you must enter the pertinent Profile IP address or the Profile resource network identification (if you intend to use an Ethernet connection). WARNING: for the media manager connection, you must indicate the name. For the correct functioning of Etere, the name decoding by DNS or Lmhosts file must be installed. From inside the Profile, you always have to use the IP address or 127.0.0.1; by using the PC's name, the connection fails. From outside the Profile: we suggest using the PC name (to avoid problems with the fibre channel copies); otherwise, you can use the IP address.
•FC address: If the videoserver is connected via Fibre Channel, specify your FC address here.
•Number of channels: enter the channels in the Profile resource.
•File systems: allows you to specify the names of the Profile file systems
✓Internal: enter the name of the internal file system (Example example INT)
✓External: in case there are external expansions not gathered under a single file system, you have to enter their names
•PLS: if a PLS is connected by selecting Connected ( a v will appear in the box), the corresponding resource will automatically be updated together with the Profile
If you press Confirm, a Profile resource is added to the resources tree.
You will then have to configure the Channels, the file systems, and the PLS (if it exists). To complete this operation, go to the resource part you want to configure (channel, file system) and press Modify Resource.
