Proxy encoding overview

When you transfer a file into the K2 system, it is stored as a high resolution clip. GV STRATUS Rules Wizard detects the presence of the clip in the K2 storage. The Rules Wizard checks to see if the clip has associated proxy. If no proxy exists, the Rules Wizard checks rules. GV STRATUS rules specify that all high resolution clips must have proxy, so the Rules Wizard sends a transcode job to a Render Engine. If there are multiple high resolution clips to be transcoded, the transcode jobs are queued up sequentially and the next available Render Engine transcodes the next job in the sequence. The Render Engine transcodes the high resolution clip to create the proxy. The Render Engine generates proxy media for high-resolution clips with one video track. Clips with more than one video track are not supported.
