User manual

to specify a FTP location. This includes the username and password. For example:

ftp://username:password@ip_address/path

Note: under <Remote> we have the same , <Playlist>, <Media>, <DCP> and <Keys>

options as in <Local>, however, an extra option of <Config> is also present.

The <Config> option points to a file containing extra information used by the dCine to find a

description of files contained in the defined storage areas. FTP does not allow for efficient reading

of files, so the dCine or dStore library create XML data files containing all the information about

files stored in that location.

When this option is set up, the dCine will use It in the following ways;

1. you can list local and remote media/DCPs when adding a item to a playlist. When this

playlist is saved, it will also add to the ingest queue all the media added from a remote location that

is not currently available locally. This ensures the dCine/DCI-palyer has those file locally for

playback.

2. If the <AutoSchedule> runs and a scheduled playlist does not exist on the dCine but

does exist on the MediaStore location, the system will download that playlist and add all missing

media into the ingest queue.

3. When editing/creating playlists, you can list playlists on the MedisStore and save them to

the dCine. This will automatically add any missing media the the ingest queue.
