Write Video to an Evidential Rolling Buffer

To write ingested video to an evidential rolling buffer, follow these steps.

To write video to an evidential rolling buffer

  1. Create a new configuration to send to Media Server with the process action, or open an existing configuration that you want to modify.

  2. In the [Session] section, add a new task by setting the EngineN parameter. You can give the task any name, for example:

    [Session]
    Engine0=Ingest
    Engine1=EvidentialRollingBuffer
  3. Create a new configuration section to contain the task settings, and set the following parameters:

    Type The type of engine to use. Set this parameter to EvidentialRollingBuffer.
    Stream The name of the rolling buffer to write video to. You must have created the rolling buffer (see Set Up Rolling Buffers).

    For example:

    [EvidentialRollingBuffer]
    Type=EvidentialRollingBuffer
    Stream=Camera3
  4. Save and close the configuration file. Micro Focus recommends that you save your configuration files in the location specified by the ConfigDirectory parameter.
