EVS IPD-VIA

Joey Vanhalst

EVS IPD-VIA (DMS-DRV-7334) is the asset management component of EVS’ VIA ecosystem to access, manage, edit, and share all live production assets.

The EVS IPD-VIA connector implements the OpenGate Ingest API, which enables you to monitor and control the recording sessions in EVS IPD-VIA. Next to polling the API, the connector will also subscribe to the recording session queue (RabbitMQ) to retrieve immediate updates or changes to any recording session.

Eager to see the connector in action? Take a look at the “Video Server Management for live ingest” use case, which illustrates how DataMiner manages video servers for live ingest to automate all recordings.

USE CASE DETAILS

The "General" page provides an overview of the recording sessions and their targets. A recording session is the representation of an ingest block, which exports the data through a recorder. The targets define where the data needs to be exported. Finished recording sessions are automatically removed from the element after a configurable time. You can not only monitor recording sessions with the connector, but also create them! This is not possible through the element card itself, but it can be done using a specific messaging API that has been implemented in the connector itself. This allows for easy creation of, for example, automation scripts to create or update recording sessions.

The "Recorders" page shows the recorders and the server(s) that they are linked to. A recorder is a business component in charge of processing the recording session.

The "Targets" page shows an overview of the configured target definitions. Recording sessions have one or more ingest targets, which are used to trigger an ingest workflow.

The "Configuration" page contains the parameters that need to be configured both for the authorization of the REST API and the connection with RabbitMQ.
