Configuring Primary And Secondary Outputs - Telestream Lightspeed Live Capture User Manual

Configuring Primary and Secondary Outputs

The output location, file name and nickname settings are set once for all primary and
secondary outputs. Select the output location where the captured file should be
written, optionally edit the file name using tokens or variables, and specify the output
nickname for use by downstream actions operating on the file.
Output Location. Click Output Location and select from these choices.
- Vantage Store: Write the output to a Live Store. Select any available Live Store from the
drop down list.
Telestream recommends creating a Live Store in Vantage and using it as the output
location for efficient Capture operations. See Capture User Guide > Using Live Stores for
Capturing Files for details.
- Path: Write the output to a specific Windows file system server and directory. Manually
enter a Windows share (UNC path) or drive letter (not recommended on Vantage arrays)
or click Browse to navigate and select the location. Or, click the green Browse button
and select a variable which supplies the fully-qualified path.
Caution: In rare instances, two capture processes writing to the same path
location folder may result in one file overwriting the other. To prevent this, the
best practice is to use a unique folder location for each workflow, or append a
Time token (set to mmm) to the file name in a workflow (configured in Edit
Filename), which returns the current millisecond, thus altering the file name.
Edit Filename. Displays the Filename Pattern Editor and specifies the pattern for the
file you are creating. Default: Workflow Name - Source Name. Use the menu on the right
to select one or more tokens to insert to create the exact filename pattern you require.
Available tokens:
- Base Name: Customizes the output file name with a name you enter in the Live
Capture web application, or when passing a name token from the API or CalDAV
Calendar trigger.
- Workflow Name: Adds the name of the workflow as part of the file name.
- Source Name: Adds the name of the live source as part of the file name.
- Variable: Choose and add a variable to the file name.
- Date: Adds the date as part of the file name.
- Time: Add the time as part of the file name.
Note: The time applied to the Time token represents the time that the output file is
created. Files are initialize at different times based on the Trigger type being used.
The variable token is replaced by the value it holds when the action executes. The
variable should be set prior to execution of this action. For example, if a variable token
