Creating Live and Tape Capture Workflows

Creating a Live Capture Workflow
Create Metadata Log. When enabled, metadata log files are created that include frame
numbers, the timecode value of each frame, and RS422 status (when RS422 is enabled).
The log file is written to the output location along with the primary output.
Allow Manual Control. (Use caution when enabling the Web Service manual control.)
When enabled, manual control via the Lightspeed Live Capture web application is
allowed (in addition to capture via the API). Jobs can be immediately started using the
manual controls in the same way as with the Manual Trigger.
In addition, web service jobs that have been added to the web service record queue
can be stopped and removed from the job queue. When a manual stop is issued all web
service jobs that are currently queued or are in the process of being recorded will be
stopped and removed from the web service queue.

Using the CalDAV Calendar Trigger

The CalDAV Calendar Trigger enables you to capture video based on events in a CalDAV
calendar. When using CalDAV Calendar Trigger:
- Each event must be at least 15 minutes in duration, or greater.
- Event durations are restricted to a maximum of 9 hours. Events that are longer will
stop recording automatically at 9 hours duration.
- Event names cannot contain an accent grave character or any of the following
characters: * | \ : ; " ' < > ? /
You can not use CalDAV Calendar triggers when creating events in Live Schedule.
Note: You must use a calendar that is dedicated to only contain events that are used
for Lightspeed Live Capture. All events in the calendar are used for Live Capture, no
matter what name they are given or other purpose they are intended for.

What Happens When a Queued Event is Deleted

If an event on the calendar has been added to the Capture queue (events are queued
up when they are within 1 hour of their start time) and is subsequently deleted from
the CalDAV calendar, its job status is reported as Complete in the Workflow Designer
and the Job Status Views application.
- In the case where the deleted event had not yet started capturing, a 0K (zero K) sized
file associated with the job will remain in the workflow's output folder location.
- In the case where the deleted event was in a capturing state when it was deleted, a
playable file associated with the job will remain in the file's output folder location.
See Using the Job Status Views in the Lightspeed Live User Guide for more information on
using this application.
