Sending assets for playout

  • 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 the Rename Asset Rights role and 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 transferring assets.
  • It is recommended to set the bin quota to at least 2GB to a destination bin. You are not allowed to begin transferring into a bin if there is less than 1GB of space remaining in that bin.

You can send a completed clip or and edited sequence for playback in your operation. You can transfer assets to pre-configured destination locations using the Send Destination feature. The destination locations are configured in GV STRATUS Control Panel. The only formats available are those compatible with the Reference Standard currently configured in Format settings. Before sending the clip, you can link your asset to a placeholder.

  1. In the Navigator panel, select the source bin location. The assets in the bin are displayed in an Asset List.
  2. Right-click on the asset that you want to transfer and select Send ( F11). The Send Destinations dialog box opens and displays a list of destinations.



  3. If desired, in the Send As field, enter a different name for the asset at the destination location. If the asset is previously linked to a placeholder, the name of the placeholder appears in the Send As field. However, you can still modify the name of the placeholder in this dialog.
  4. In the Destination List, select one from the following:
    • Select one or more transfer destinations
    • Select one or more conform destinations

    You are not allowed to select both transfer and conform destinations at the same time.

  5. If configured for a Newsroom Computer System, you can also link the asset to a local or remote placeholder.
    • 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 the Rename Asset Rights role and write permission for the Name property in Metadata section of GV STRATUS Control Panel.
    1. On the Link To Placeholder tab, select a placeholder.

      If a remote placeholder, expand the remote site node.

      If already linked to a placeholder, you can select a different placeholder.

    2. If desired, in the Placeholder Description field, enter text and click Save. The placeholder description is updated. It is not necessary to click Send to update the placeholder description.
  6. If you have adequate permissions, click Security and configure security options as desired, then click OK.

    The Security dialog box is available only if you have the role of Security Manager or you are the Owner.

  7. Click Send. The transfer is initiated. If transferring multiple assets, transfer jobs are queued.
The asset is sent to the playout server. The placeholder status changes to READY in the Assignment List, and the number of missing items in the Assignment List decreases by one.

To monitor the status of the transfer, open the Jobs Monitor.
