Configuration requirements between GV STRATUS and NCS

These configurations are required for a successful integration between GV STRATUS and Newsroom Computer Systems.

The GV STRATUS Control Panel must be installed in the SDB and XMOS servers. After the installation, the GV STRATUS Control Panel application must be launched to create the profile which will be used by SDB and XMOS servers.
The registry setting in SDB server should automatically be set as below:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Grass Valley\GV STRATUS Rundown\DB Server\MediaFrame\Connect = 1

Note: For the migration from Aurora to GV STRATUS system, the registry setting may have to be set manually in the SDB server.
To allow FTP path of an essence clip to be reported to the Newsroom Computer System, the EssenceTechDesc registry setting should be configured at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Grass Valley\GV STRATUS Rundown\XMOS Server\EssenceTechDesc
The FTPHost registry setting must be configured manually on both the primary and hot standby SDB Server systems as below. This is important to construct the clip path and getting the logical asset from GV STRATUS to Newsroom Computer Systems.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Grass Valley\GV STRATUS Rundown\DB Server\MediaServer\[x]\FTPHost

Format of the constructed path: [FTPHost]/V:/[media bin]/[linked clip named]

Example of the constructed path: PTA1/V:/playout/OP NOTICIA EN DESARROLL_PC000027
The FTP username should be movie for GXF transfer and mxfmovie for MXF transfer.
To enable UNC path for proxy and thumbnail, do the following:
- Add a new file to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Grass Valley\STRATUS Control Panel\PlayoutProxyManager.dll.config" with the content below:
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
```
```
<configuration>  
```
```
 <appSettings>    
```
```
  <add key="ProxyPath" value="UNC"/>  
```
```
 </appSettings>
```
```
</configuration>
```
- Configure the ThumbnailTechDesc registry setting to "BMP" at:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Grass Valley\GV STRATUS Rundown\XMOS Server\
This will set both proxy and thumbnail in UNC paths as below:
```
<objProxyPath techDescription="QT">\\Core-server-name\proxy\093b8a58ef9e495e9852311a4932f664\proxy.mp4</objProxyPath>
```
```
<objProxyPath techDescription="BMP">C:\GV STRATUS Rundown\Thumbnails\yc_enps_test3_00008X9H.bmp</objProxyPath>
```

To enable HTTPS path for proxy and thumbnail, do the following:

Add a new file to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Grass Valley\STRATUS Control Panel\PlayoutProxyManager.dll.config" with the content below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<configuration>

 <appSettings>

  <add key="ProxyPath" value="HTTPS"/>

 </appSettings>

</configuration>

Configure the ThumbnailTechDesc registry setting to "THUMBNAIL" at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Grass Valley\GV STRATUS Rundown\XMOS Server\

This will set both proxy and thumbnail in HTTPS paths as below:

<objProxyPath techDescription="QT"> https://Core-server-name/proxy/093b8a58-ef9e-495e-9852-311a4932f664/proxy.mp4</objProxyPath>

<objProxyPath techDescription="THUMBNAIL"> https://Core-server-name/proxy/thumbnail/093b8a58-ef9e-495e-9852-311a4932f664/thumbnail.jpg</objProxyPath>

Note: Grass Valley does not recommend thumbnail and proxy paths to be set differently in your system. Both must be simultaneously configured to either use UNC paths or HTTPS paths.
