Adding a Carbon Coder transcode profile

GV STRATUS rules support transcode profiles you create using third party applications. This topic provide steps for the Harmonic ProMedia™ Carbon (formerly Carbon Coder™) application.

At the time of this writing, the following formats are supported as source formats for transcoding by the Harmonic ProMedia™ Carbon (formerly Carbon Coder™) application:

DV25/50
DVCAM
MPEG I-frame
MPEG long GoP
DVCPRO HD
MPEG XDCAM
AVC-Intra
DNxHD

These formats are supported in PAL and NTSC. This list can change with ongoing product development. Refer to the manufacturer's product information for updates.

Create the transcode profile as required by your workflow, with requirements as follows:
- Only one output format per transcode profile is supported by GV STRATUS rules.
- For import rules, the profile must be a format supported by the K2 and GV STRATUS system and the profile name must have the prefix Import_, such as Import_HD_MXF-D10_NTSC_50.PCP.
Identify the transcode profile file. For the ProMedia application, it is the project file, with a pcp file extension.
Identify the GV STRATUS server that hosts the GV STRATUS Xcode Control Engine. Typically this is the GV STRATUS Core server.
Copy the transcode profile to the following directory on the Xcode Control Engine host: C:\Program Files\Grass Valley\STRATUS Transcode Engine\Profiles\RhozetCC
Wait approximately one minute for the GV STRATUS system to detect the transcode profile.

The transcode profile is added in GV STRATUS Control Panel at General | Rules in Export Options settings as a Transcode Format.
