DE5301

ncb00076803

STR-3290

Description: "Video Playback Is Not Available" displays in Inspector when attempting to play a subclip with no proxy association. This can occur when using a high-resolution workflow to create subclips, such as on high-resolution GV STRATUS client, editor, or a K2 Dyno Reply Controller, and the parent clip has no proxy association.
Workaround: Make sure the high-resolution parent clip has a proxy association by using a clip recorded on a K2 Summit channel that immediately creates proxy files, or by waiting until a GV STRATUS Proxy Encoder generates proxy files for the high-resolution parent clip.
DE5394

ncb00076829

STR-3229

Description: Local proxy video is missing and cannot be generated for an asset transferred from a remote site to the local site. This occurs if the asset is not of type "Clip", such as a subclip or a list.

This occurs when software installation methods are mixed and the software is first installed manually, then upgraded using SiteConfig.
Workaround: As instructed in software install/upgrade topics, use SiteConfig only for full GV STRATUS software deployment and use manual software installation only for GV STRATUS Lite. Do not mix installation methods. If this problem occurs, first uninstall completely with the same method used to install, then install with the desired method.
DE10959

STR-385

Description: When recording in Scheduler with a set duration, the resultant clip is shorter than the duration set. This occurs after changing the NTSC/PAL reference standard in General | Format | Formats.
