Version 7 or greater Net-X-Code Server supports writing a proxy file at the same time as it writes the main file when transcoding files, capturing from IP compressed sources (NDI, RTP, UDP, RTSP, TR-01, TR-03), capturing from uncompressed IP streams (SMPTE 2022, 2110), from SDI (12G/6G/3G/1.5G), or from HDMI. The proxy creation is available on a per channel basis, and is automatic once set up. The Net-X-Player HTML5 player can be used to play back the proxy file while it is still recording, allowing for time code accurate clipping of the proxy or main file.
Proxy Configuration
Net-X-Code Server supports configuring the proxy setting from its web UI. For software that does not have a web UI, changing the config.xml (DDRConfig), where we store all our settings, will enable/disable and configure the proxy settings. The primary settings are from the first channel, under DDR Config/VVW/Internal0.
The settings include:
- proxymode enable proxy generation by setting this to 1. Setting this to 0 disables proxy generation
- proxycompressiontype video compression for the proxy, normally h.264, 0x61766331
- proxydatarate the data rate of the proxy in kilobits per second (mbs / 1000)
- proxydirectory the directory to write the proxy to
- proxyfiletype the file type to write
- MP4 = 197
- DASH = 211
- HLS = 210
- proxyscale a factor to scale the proxy by 1=1/1, 2=1/2, 3=1/3
