Using Pipeline Control
•
Windows File Sharing must be enabled.
•
The folder where the source files are located must be added as a Share.
•
Users must include an entry for Everyone (or a specific user, if known), with Read Only access.
Episode Engine Publisher
Set up and use an Episode Engine publisher in Pipeline Control when you want to automatically submit
media to a specific setting in Episode Engine for processing when it is ready.
Note
Telestream recommends that Pipeline Control be installed on a computer that is not
hosting Episode Engine or other media processing applications: intense disk and CPU
consumption can interfere with proper operation of both applications.
To publish media for processing by Episode Engine, you must be running Episode
Engine version 5.0 or greater.
When submitting jobs with TIFO files, it is important to save the file a a drive directly on
the Episode Engine server. Telestream recommends not using TIFO when saving to a
network drive.
Select and configure the Episode Engine publisher to submit media to the target Episode Engine.
If you want to speed up your workflow to near real-time by starting transcoding as soon as capture starts,
select TIFO as the file type. When capturing to TIFO files, Episode Engine is notified as soon as the file is
created, and transcoding the media occurs as soon as it is available, thus shortening the total processing
time.
If you capture media in a QuickTime file, Episode Engine is notified when capture is complete and the file
is closed.
Note
As an alternative method of accessing media from Pipeline, consider Episode Engine
file monitors: specifically, Network File Monitor and Pipeline File Monitor.
