Other Topic Library Versions

Adding an event

  • If GV STRATUS security is enforced, your credentials must give you adequate permissions on bins, assets, and metadata.
  • In order to link to a placeholder, you must be assigned with write permission for the Name property in Metadata section of GV STRATUS Control Panel.
  • If quota is configured on the K2 system bin, ensure you have enough disk space before recording assets.
  • It is recommended to set the quota on a destination bin to at least 2GB. Records will not begin if there is less than 1GB of free space remaining in the destination bin.

To ingest feeds, add an event in the Scheduler tool for each feed that you want to record.

  1. Click the Add Event button. ( A) The Inspector panel loads event properties.

    Tip: You can also right-click anywhere on the Scheduler's track view and select Add Event from the context menu. The Inspector panel automatically shows the channel and start time based on the location of your mouse on the Scheduler interface.
  2. Fill in properties of your event according to the following:
    1. Template — Select a template from the drop-down list, if it's already configured.
    2. Name — Enter a name for the scheduled event.
      Note: If you reached the character limit, the Name field will be disabled and a red cross indicator displayed. Shorten the event name to enable the field again.
    3. Router Source — If a router is configured as part of the system, select router source for the event from the drop-down list. If configured as a Multicam channel in GV STRATUS Control Panel, two router sources are available.If configured in the Router | Connection settings of the GV STRATUS Control Panel, router sources are displayed in alphabetical order.
    4. Recording Channel — Channel availability depends on the configuration in your system. You can only see and select channels that have been configured for the Scheduler tool. Make sure that the channel is not in Continuous Record mode.
    5. Clip Location — Select a record location bin for the event from the drop-down list.

      If the bin has security access permissions configured, the recorded clip inherits those permissions.

      If the option to Only show location according to recording device is selected in the Ingest Location Setup in GV STRATUS Control Panel, you can only view and select clip locations in the same K2 system as the configured recording channel.

      Note: If the recording channel is set to Auto-assign, all clip locations are available in the drop-down list.
    6. Start Record Now — Check this box to start recording immediately after you click the Add button. If you don't enter the end time of the event, the default is set to1 hour. You can also set the default duration in the Ingest panel of the GV STRATUS Control Panel application.
    7. Start Date — Enter the date and time you want the recording to start. The default date is the current date. You can also select your start date from the calendar when you click the drop-down arrow. Enter the time using the format hour:minutes:seconds.
      Note: When scheduling two events back to back, a space of 10 seconds is required from the stop of the first record to the start of the second record. In order to compensate this, it is recommended that the default record duration reflect a stop time 10 seconds prior to the rounded duration (e.g., 00:59:50 for a 1 hour record).
    8. Open Ended Record — Check this box if you want the recording to continue until you manually stop it. With this record, you only need to provide the start time.
    9. Duration — Enter the duration of the event. The default duration can be set in the Ingest panel of the GV STRATUS Control Panel application. The maximum duration that can be set for an event is 23:59:59.
    10. End Date — Enter the date and time you want the recording to end. You can also select your end date from the calendar when you click the drop-down arrow.
    11. Record Backup — Check this box if you want to record a backup of the feed.
    12. Backup Channel — Select a backup channel from the drop-down list.
      Note: You cannot select the same channel for both main and backup recordings. Backup channel is disabled when only one channel is configured for the Scheduler.
    13. Backup Clip Location — Select a record location for the backup clip.

      If the option to Only show location according to recording device is selected in the Ingest Location Setup in GV STRATUS Control Panel, you can only view and select clip locations in the same K2 system as the configured recording channel.

    14. Tags — Enter a tag, or tags for the event.
    15. Description — Enter the description of the event.
    16. Comments — Enter any comments that you have on the event.

    By default, the Scheduler tool opens to the current day, date, and time according to your system time. The time of day format within the Scheduler is directly from the current time of day format of your machine.

    To set the 24 hour format to your Scheduler, change the time format of your Windows client by selecting Start | Control Panel | Clock, Language and Region, and change the time format accordingly.
    Note: Changes to the Scheduler’s time format can only be seen after a restart of the GV STRATUS application.
  3. Enter more event information under the Custom section, if desired.

    You can create custom metadata and assign metadata fields to specific tabs in Core | Metadata | Inspector Sections settings within the GV STRATUS Control Panel application.

  4. In the Misc tab of the Inspector, you can select the Recurring Event check box if you want the scheduled event to occur more than once.
  5. In the Link to Placeholder tab of the Inspector, you can select a placeholder if you want to link it to your event, and click the Link button.

    The placeholder name and ID fill in to replace the name of the event, and the placeholder row color changes to light blue to signify it as Being Edited in the Assignment List tool. You can also configure the Being Edited status color in the ALP tab of user preferences settings.

    Note: For playout via GV STRATUS Rundown, ensure the clip record location is the same as the configured send destination in GV STRATUS Control Panel.
  6. Click the Add button in the Inspector panel.

    The event is added to the Scheduler tool with a Ready status.

    While recording, if the bin in which a growing asset exists reaches its quota, the clip will be forced to stop recording but will remain in the bin.

  7. To add another event, in the Inspector panel, fill in properties and other information as in the steps earlier in this procedure, then click the Add button.

    It is not necessary to click the Add Event button.
