Worker Node 3.0
Simplify your workflow by automatically triggering actions when a new file appears in specified watch folders, is dragged onto the worker icon, or based on a clip status change:
| Watch folder actions |
|---|
- Worker nodes watch directories or job queues looking for "work" to do.
- Supported actions include automatically compressing files, performing scene detection, publishing to the server, moving or renaming the file, or sending an email
- Conditional actions can be trigged by properties such as file type, media format, audio sample rate etc.
- Based on the acclaimed CatDV engine to analyse and process media files
- Multiple worker nodes can work cooperatively, increasing throughput
- Worker node normally runs as a background process but offers a simple user interface to display its current status that can be brought up when required
- Available now for Mac OS X and Windows.
|
Use the worker node to enforce project best practice, for example automatically placing still images in one folder, video in another, and render audio if it's the wrong sample rate, or as a compression engine to convert files to different resolutions in the background without tying up the user interface.
| New in Worker 3.0 |
|---|
- Actions may be triggered either by performing a query against the server or by files appearing in a watch folder, for example a user might review a clip and set the status to 'Approved', instructing the worker to copy the file to the playout server while simultaneously rendering a web version of the finished segment
- Provides access to the new importers in CatDV 8.0, including support for image sequences, MXF metaclips, and more
- Improved execution of external commands, such as FTPing the file to a server or using an external transcoder such as Telestream's Episode Engine
- More flexible file renaming options
- Other improvements include better control over pre- and post-processing operations and the ability to set arbitrary logging fields when adding clips to the server
