73.6.3 Memory Service setup

Memory Service 1st time setup

Once Etere Memory Service has been installed, the Etere Memory Setup application (which is installed alongside the service) should be executed to start the first configuration of the services, the customer must select the channel he wants to configure among those for which the service was installed. Then the system starts a wizard procedure to configure the memory service to be used on this workstation.

N.B. if you already had a standard memory configuration the system will automatically get the same configuration from the old memory so there is no need to manually procede with the following. 

Etere_Emory_service_setup_0

From the main form of the memory setup editor chose NEW, this will allow you to select which channel you are going to configure specifying this parameters:

Station: Name of the channel to configure 

Role: Main or backup

License #: in case of multiple licenses you can select the license number (i.e. for BKP2 you need to select 2)

--SOURCE-- 

In this tab, you can slect the source from where you need to get the signal from.

- Source from device

Select video device: select the input video device.

Select video line: select the video line taking from the selected video device.

Select audio device: select the source of audio device.  If the same encoder contain both video and audio, select taking the audio <From Video>.

Select audio format: select one of the audio format from the list.

--ENCODER--

Writer Buffer: gives the possibility to set a buffer for the encoder. For default is set as 100 frames.
Data and Time overlay: gives the possibility to enable or not the "data and time overlay"
Quick recording switch: enable the contemporary switch between files across multiple encoders, if disabled the files are closed serially one after the other, if enbled all the files are closed at the same time (N.B. the files will always have the same timecodes regardless of this setting)

When configuring Encoder profile in Memory service, the Encoder 1 settings are present by default on the window showing the attributes of the encoder configurations and allowing to change them.  To expedite the configuration process, you can manually copy the overall attributes from one encoder and applied to another encoder, and perform minor changes at target encoder.

Delete media older then: set the minimum retention files into the main 

Delete Mon/Tue/We/Thu/Fri/Sat/Sun/At the end of every ingest: specify when to check for old files to be deleted.

--OPTION--

Role: Main or backup

Switch recording file every (Minutes): duration of each recorded file

Switch recording file at 00 or multiple of the lenght: force the memory to switch precisely at the 1st frame of the chunk duration or multiple of the duratuion to have a precise cut for the chunks.

Continuous Recording: 24h recording no idle time.

Record on a period of the day: specify the recording window from one timecode to another.

Scheduled ingest: read the recording schedule from the database and ingest at the specified times.

After configuring the parameters needed it is possible to save and interact with the service installed on that machine with the Service drop down menu which allow you to:

Apply to service: send the configuration data to the service that will load it at next startup
