Vibrint / GVG Profile File Transfers Overview There are two directions for a File Transfer. “Sending” a file transfers data from the Vibrint Server to the Profile. “Pulling” a file transfers data from the Profile to the Vibrint Server. All File transfers are initiated from the Vibrint Server. You cannot initiate a transfer from the Profile. All files are transferred via Fibre Channel. An Ethernet connection is also required in order to run the “Media Manager” on the Vibrint NewsEdit. The Media Manager is used to initiate a file “Pull.” Restrictions For Files Pulled From Profile Files must be MPEG2 I Frame only From 4 Megabit to 20 Megabit. Either 704x480 or 720x496 (NTSC) Either 704x576 or 720x576 (PAL) Files must be simple movies. Variable bit rates are not supported. Files must contain 1 video stream and two audio streams. NOTE: You can “Send” a file or a clip from the Vibrint FeedClip application to a Profile but you cannot “Pull” a file from a Profile to into a Vibrint FeedClip. However, Vibrint NewsEdit supports both directions of file transfer. Transfer Rates Expect that a 20Mbit file will transfer 2-3x real time. Pulls will transfer 1-2x real time. Future enhancements are expected to increase the overall data transfer rate. System Configuration First we need to establish our Fibre channel network:  Setup Steps: Establish a Fibre Channel Connection If connecting point to point, simply connect the FC cable between the Vibrint FC interface card and the Profile’s FC interface card. NOTE: When connecting point to point, it is essential that the optical FC cable be crossed when plugged in between the two systems. If connecting multiple systems, connect all FC cables to the Fibre channel switch Multiple systems require the addition of a Fibre Channel switch - Usually a Brocade Silkworm 2800 Fibre Channel switch. Most systems (both Profile and Vibrint) will use the Interphase 5526 FC interface card. This is an optical card. Establi
