CUBEs, transcoding and media flow around.

Guys,
Is it possible to have media flow around and transcoding at the same time or is it mandatory to have media pass though configured?
I'm looking for a way to have all my endpoints talking P2P and have media pass though only if it's necessary trasnscoding. I have this necessity since i'm trying to integrate with other technologies that aren't CISCO.
Any advices would be great and thanks in advance.
BR,
Filipe

I haven't tested this, but this doc indicates it's possible to configure flow-throgh/flow-around at the dial-peer level.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/voice/cube/configuration/guide/vb-gw-sipsip.html#wp1324447
The catch is that you wouldn't be able to have the CUBE determine whether the call needs a transcoder or not. You'd need to know those requirements beforehand, and create a dial-peer matching strategy to encompass the various scenarios you're looking to drive.
So if the CUBE is connecting a specific platform to another specific platform, you could match it with the dial-peer, and then use that media flow-around config for it (or not, as appropriate).
If you need to make this determination on-the-fly, I don't think it's possible, and doing it per endpoint wouldn't really scale well.

CUBE, Media Flow Through vs. Media Flow Around

So CUBE gives the ability to have either Media Flow-Through or Media Flow-Around. I think I have a good handle on what the difference between the two is but what are some real-world reasons as to one would be preferred over another?

Good question.
Media flow-around terminates the signaling stream and allows RTP streams to flow directly between endpoints.
F. Media flow-through provides address hiding by terminating both signaling and RTP streams.
Media flow through and media flow around mode is supported on the Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE). The CUBE is always involved in the call setup (signaling) portion of the call, but the media (RTP bearer stream) may flow through the CUBE or be routed around the platform.
Media flow around allows the CUBE greater scalability in the number of calls that can be processed by one CUBE router.
For Media flow through option, the media packets are passed through the CUBE, they will get terminated and re-originates with CUBE’s IP address and port number, so here we cannot find the original gateway’s ip address. This is one of the security feature in the CUBE. The default option is “media flow-through”.
In real life I think it is down to scalability. The fact that media doesnt pass through CUBE in flow around means that CUBE can process more calls (CPU, memory etc)..

Cisco Cube Flow around mode supported for CVP 10

Hi Guys,
We are deploying CVP 10.5, our ingress gateway for the CVP is a CUBE. We know that in CVP 8.0 the media flow around is not supported, but we don't know if in the version 10 is supported. does anybody knows about it?

Hi,
Please refer to page no 75. Its mentioned --With flow-around mode, you lose the ability to do DTMF interworking,transcoding, and other key functions such as telephone and media capabilities.

Best way to delete transcoded and proxy media?

Hello,
I am trying to free up some disc space and am curious what is the best way to delete transcoded and proxy media in fcpx? I know I can open up a library bundle and delete the folder, but is this safe? There must be a better option...
Thanks,
Austin

I don't know of any other way.
Proxy and Transcoded media can always be re-generated if the original files are in place.
If this question refers to your system drive then a BIG suggestion is to aquire a fast dedicated media drive.

HI. When I plug in my charger and use my macbook, I feel some kind of roughness on the body. It feels like some current flowing around it. Need help please.

HI. When I plug in my charger and use my macbook, I feel some kind of roughness on the body. It feels like some current flowing around it. Need help please.

My 2006 MacBook Pro and my 2011 MacBook Air both do it. It happens because the earth ground stops at the power brick and is not carried through to the case of the machine. It is not dangerous or the machine would not have been UL approved.
Since I operate on battery 99.9999% of the time it doesn't bother me at all.

RAM Allocation and Media Transcoding not working?

So as much as I love Final Cut Pro X and all of the great new features, I've come across two big concerns that I can't seem to fix or find a solution too.
1. I have heard that FCPX can basically use as much RAM that you can throw at it. This to me means that the more I get, the quciker things will Render, and Transcode and editing should be smoother. Considering that my iMac (Quad Core i7 3.4 ghz) is the latest model and it only came with 4gb of RAM, I decided to upgrade my RAM. I recently bought and installed 32 gb (4 sticks fo 8gb) of RAM. I know the Maximum says 16gb, however Crucial claims to have done significant testing on the RAM and says that the i7 can in fact work with it no problem and it seems to show up and work so far. My main concern though is that even with all of that RAM FCPX doesn't seem to be using nearly that much. I tried giving it tasks such as transcoding some files and applying a lot of effects to things in the timeline and it only seems to be using about 3 or 4 gbs worth of RAM, which is nothing compared to the 32gb that it should be using. I literally have things waiting to be transcoded or rendered when I ahve plenty of free RAM just waiting to be used. To me this doesn't seem correct. Does FCPX have some sort of RAM allocation control or does anyone know what I can do to make FCPX realize I have that much RAM and tell it to use it? Has anyone else had this issue? I was thinking maybe erasing the preference files? Maybe something in the preferences thinks that the RAM is still only 4gb?
2. My second question is in regards to Transcoding. I've read alot online that says it is best to Transcode your footage to Pro Res on Import to make sure it is at the optimal settings to edit in FCPX. My original footage is h.264 from my DSLR and works, but if I can convert it to Pro Res and it runs even smooother, I would love to do so. I know this option comes up when you import, but I have recently discovered that you can right click on a files in the Event Browser and tell it to Transcode after the fact. Since I have a lot of clips I thought maybe grabbing all of hte clips at once and telling it to batch Transcode all at once would be helpful, especially considering how much RAM I have now, but it doenst seem to be working. Upon trying that I noticed the first clip goes like normal, but then it just stops. The rest of hte clips just stay frozen and don't move at all. I can play and pause the Trancoding options in the Render Window, but still nothing continues. It just stays frozen. I've tried with smaller batches and it still doesn't seem to work. Any ideas on why my transcoding just stops. I usually have to cancel that Trancode process and try again, but still nothing. Why is this happening?
Any ideas?

If the program has enough RAM to do it's assigned work, more RAM will not speed things up. RAM does not necessarily equate to speed of operation. Transcoding still requires disk write operations.

Premier Pro CC and Media Encoder crashing on long file export.

Please forgive the length of this inquiry. But it is complicated and has a lot of variables.
I have an hour long mixed format timeline both Red 3K footage and Black Magic ProRes 1080P footage that I want to make a DVD from and it takes forever and crashes half way through. I have tried doing it every way possible and the only way I was able to get even a partial export was using the "MPEG 2 DVD" export option in Premier CC. It goes fast at first telling me it will take about 2 hours but even though it starts quickly doing about 15 fps it slows down to less than 1 fps and finally just stops and crashes my Cuda Core enabled Macbook Pro Laptop.
I really don't know who to ask about this since there are so many different variables. I never had a problem like this on my MBP with PP6 on a 4K timeline exporting to DVD or Blue Ray or to H-264 or Even Prores. But I wasn't mixing formats either. But on this project the first 20-30 minutes of footage goes through fine in a couple of hours but something seems to be bogging down the system on longer projects. My work around was to break the project up into multiple exports and combining them on the DVD timeline but I can't do this on every project. I thought maybe it was a corrupted clip somewhere in the timeline but when I broke the timeline up into several parts I had no problems.
I did notice a dramatic variance in the time it took to export footage based on the sequence settings. A one minute timeline comprised Red 3K footage and ProRes 1080P footage Here are some sample export results:
From a Red raw 3K timeline 2880x1620 with 1080P Prores footage upscaled 150%)
to .m2v Mpeg 2 720x480 format    1:48 Minutes ***
to .mov Prores 422HQ 1080P                         22 Minutes
to .mov H.264 1080P                    22 Minutes
to .m2v Mpeg 2 1080P                                                22 Minutes
From a 1080P timeline Prores footage at 100% (Red footage downscaled to 67%)
to .m2v Mpeg 2 720x480 format                         13 Minutes
to .mov Prores 422HQ 1080P                             13 Minutes
to .mov H.264 1080P                                                             14 Minutes
to .m2v Mpeg 2 1080P                                                            14 Minutes
Since I am going to DVD, I chose the fastest option Red to m2v Mpeg 2 720x480 format which only took 1:48 per minute. Why? I have no idea. Maybe someone here knows the answer. But again these numbers are for a ONE MINUTE clip when I tried to convert the whole hour timeline to the 720x480.m2v DVD File the Red timeline froze my computer after several hours even though I had set sleep mode to “Never” and turned the display off manually and I had to convert it in multiple chunks. In 20-30 minute chunks it did go fast about 1:48 per minute like the test indicated. But I would like to be able to convert the whole hour and not to have to try to stitch the clips together in my DVD authoring program.
I don’t want to have to avoid using multiple formats on the same timeline or waste time transcoding everything to the same format.
Can anyone give me any suggestions as to why the computer is crashing or bogging down in long exports and what timeline settings I should be using?
I have plenty of room on my Scratch Disk and 8 Gig of RAM and according to my Activity Monitor during the export process have about 800 Meg of System Memory during export but the CPU Usage is 98% and in my Activity Monitor I see under “Process Name” ImporterRedServer flashing up at the top of the list about every second during export.
Why .720x480 mpeg DVD setting is so much faster than all the other export codecs?
And if there are any other settings I can use to get higher speed exports in HD? 14x1 seems a little slow especially since every time it crashes I have to start over.

Hi,
Since a long time I did not encounter the crash of Media encoder with
long file export.
But I take care of a lot of details before the export :
- clean up Media cache and Media Cache Files within PP CS6 and/or CC,
- delete all render files with Preview Files,
- rendering of sequences until the rendering is completed,
- PP CS6 and/or Pp CC opened during export to AME and/or Encore CS6,
I guessed to leave Adobe but this company remains the last with a
serious authoring software (Encore CS 6).
I tested :
- Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro X, both are very good software but
no really authoring software for these video editing softs.
Th only way is to "flood" Adobe with "bug reports" and "wish forms"
which are not very easy to use.
And also to call the Adobe support day by day until they send they
escalate the bug.

RE Text to flow around shape

In Pages 08 or 09 - Is it possible to get text to flow or follow around e.g. a sircle or anoter shape?
What I am thinking of here, is something simular to word-art in MS word.
You got some bad advice and accepted it and closed the topic.
It's absolutely possible to have text flow around a shape. In word processing mode, highlight/select the shape/image, click the Inspector>Wrap. Set Wrap=yes. You can define how the text wraps around the shape, above-below only, surround, etc.. you can even define how closely the text wraps to the shape.
Wait a little bit the next time you ask a question. The first person responding may not have the answer.

Nope, wasn't rhetorical at all, Just wonder why it still has to be so hard to find. I did finally figure out that if I copied the pic into the Pages doc. from I-Photo via the Media Icon/tool, the text began to wrap. I was frustrated before while trying to finalize a bio before my partner left so she could take it by a gallery displaying her work for an upcoming show. I remember wishing for this capablilty in the late 1980's and was really frustrated because in MS Word 2008 for Mac I couldn't find any possibilty of Word or Text Wrapping and within Pages 2011, I could not get the necessary menu to highlight and therefore work. If Mac just used the right mouse button and allowed icons, etc. to show up when moused over and help links to pop up when right clicked on, it would save soo much time.
Thanks for your post, it eventually helped me.

Why phone media flow is going through CUCM?

I have a setup like this:
Phone 1 .....<SCCP>........CUCM cluster 1.......<H225>.........Gatekeeper 1.......<H225>.......CUCM cluster 2 .....<SIP>......SIP gateway (CUBE)...........SIP conferencing
It is found that the Phone1 media flow is going like this:
Phone 1.......one server in CUCM cluster 2......SiP gateway
I have a wireshark connect to Phone 1, and I found the media flow is going through a call manager. Why and how come?
I guess it's because MTP, but I didn't enable "MTP requried" in the H225 trunk and SIP trunk. In the device pool of the related trunk, no MRGL is configured. Also G.711 uLaw is used in both cluster.

MTP Required forces an MTP to be allocated for all calls. Not checking it guarantees nothing; CUCM may still invoke an MTP if needed, such as DTMF interop (e.g. H.245 alphanumeric to RFC2833), H.323 Fast Start or SIP Early Offer. It's more than just the audio codec.
As for the lack of an MRGL: resources not assigned to at least one MRG are available system-wide.
Please remember to rate helpful responses and identify helpful or correct answers.

Solved: InDesign CC: Problems with text in text box: text flows around invisible object

I just upgraded from CS4 to CC. I have two problems with text in some text boxes:
The text seems to flow around invisible object that I cannot find or delete. It's as if there is a photo or other object behind the text box; but when I press COMMAND-a to select all, I don't see any such object.
When I move this text box, the layout of the text within changes. For example, when the box is high on my spread, the text flows correctly within the box; but when I move it down, it flows around that hidden other object. For another example, when the box is low on the page, the text starts at the top of the box; but when I move the text box up, the text starts somewhere in the middle of the box.
I have checked margins of the text box and the paragraph options of the text paragraphs (margins, indents, alignments). They all look OK.
If I modify the text box, checking the box "Ignore text wrap", then the problem goes away; but then the text also will not flow around a real object that I want it to flow around.
Solution:
There were objects in a hidden layer on that one spread. It seems that in CS4 when you "select all" you would also select objects in hidden layers; but in CC it doesn't.

Premire Pro CC 2014 and Media Encoder Crash During Launch

Premire Pro and Media Encoder crash during startup and are unusable. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate and already tried reinstalling Adobe Creative Cloud from scratch and it's still happening. I also tried following Adobes KB articles directions to rename the Adobe folder in my documents and appdata to no avail.

I am having a similar problem.
Premiere Pro CC 2014 suddenly decided to crash every time I export to either Adobe Media Encoder or within Premiere itself.
The encode will usually go for 5-10 minutes before the programs either spits out a "serious error has occurred" window, or it just sits there frozen until I force quit.
I did find a work-around for the moment. If I open AME and FILE > OPEN, select my project and then the sequence I want, AND put it in Software render mode, it will work.
My timeline is 2K, 58 minutes in 23.976
Only effects applied are Lumetri LUTs - no third party.
I've exported as recently as a week ago without issue.
Running OSX 9.5 on an X99 board
3.75 GHz 8-core
64GB 2400 MHz RAM
EVGA Titan Black 6GB
Because I can get my renders out, I am not too concerned. Either there is something wonky with my timeline that screws with any graphics enabled rendering, or there is a bug that is have the same effect. I will try rendering on another of my edit bays that utilizes a GTX 580 that I KNOW works. The Titan is pretty new to my workflow.
Thanks Adobe, for checking this out.

Premiere and Media Encoder will will no longer export my edit to any file format.

This is on a Windows 8.1 PC.
The edit exported fine until I made one big mistake.
I created a Nested Edit to make a quick alteration.
Since then the following is now the case and I cannot go back to an earlier edit to fix this.
Premiere and Media Encoder will will no longer export my edit to any file format. Using either the Export Option or Media Encoder. Get a dialog that says "Unknown Error Compiling Movie"
There is nothing wrong with my footage. This edit worked fine and I export through Media Encoder many times until I made a Nested Edit within the Premiere Project.
I have tried all sorts of searches on the net for a fix to this but nothing seems to be current or indeed works.
Any help would be appreciated as this is a show stopper.

Thanks for the reply Mark, appreciated.
I have found a work around but it still leaves a long term issue for Adobe to fix.
As to your first solution:
1). The nested edit is already in its own timeline panel. It will not export or encode via media encoder. This is the problem.
2). I will try the KEM roll feature but I have a work around see following.
3). No I do not have a nested edit within a nested edit.
I did a lot of research on the net on this issue as it happened to a colleague of mine on his machine about two weeks ago. It took me six hours to get a fix and in his case there were six video clip that had read errors. When I overwrote those clips from the original backup master it fixed the problem. However I was never able to use Media Encoder again to export his project without it failing. I could only use the Export feature. Again he had used a nested edit in his project.
I my case I do not have any nested edits within a nested edit. All I did was drag my main edit onto the New Sequence icon at the bottom of the Project Bin. This of course created a nested edit in a new Timeline Panel which is what I wanted. I then slid the entire nested edit to the right in the timeline by two seconds as all a wanted to do was add two seconds of black at the head of the edit. That was it. From that point of creating the nested edit Media Encoder and the Export option failed every time with the fore mentioned error.
The final work around was one of those I found previous mention of during my research. I created a new clean Premiere Pro CC 2014 project, I then used the import option under the file menu. I imported only the original main edit which brought in that edit along with all the required footage. This would then export to disk using the Export feature. However, Media Encoder will still not encode this new edit, it fails the same way every time, 'Unknown Error Compiling Movie'.
As a test I loaded the old corrupt edit project back up and deleted the nested edit sequence completely and re-saved it. This had no effect and did not fix the problem. This particular project file will no longer export directly or via media encoder at all no matter what I do.
This seems pretty serious to me. I worked on this edit for a whole month without issue, encoding out roughs as a went without any issue, it was only yesterday after I made the nested edit that the project file is now useless as it will not encode out at all. Yes I have a work around and was able to salvage my project and get it rendered in time for my deadline but the fact I have a partially working Project that Media Encoder will not touch does not instill me with confidence for long term use of Premiere Pro if this is going to happen again.
Is there some place I can send this project file to Adobe to see if they can find out what is wrong with it? I am not the only person having this issue I have seen other post going all the way back through CS6 it seems.

Text flow around objects such as giraffe neck in sample

Hi
I am new here. I bought pages yesterday. Awesome app. On the example pages there is a giraffe and the text flows around it's neck. When I tried to do something similar the text only flows around the whole square image imported regardless of white space. How do you get text to flow around non square objects.
In the getting started there is a butterfly and the golden viewer. In those cases the text also flows around the non square shape of these objects
Do you need an app to cut out such objects and paste them direct into pages?
Or in other words : how did they get the text to flow around giraffe neck?
Thanks a mil
Corne

Corne ~ Welcome to the discussions. See this Help page:
http://help.apple.com/iwork/1.3/safari/index.html#tan72488c93
...If following the instructions there for "+Wrap text around an object"+ doesn't do it, it implies that you'll have to cut around the image first. And this phrase there, seems to suggest that you'll have to cut around first:
"Especially if you have images with irregular outlines, you can use text wrap to create visually playful layouts in which the text follows the contours of the image."

Is it possible to embed a media player and media in a ADE ePub

Playing around with ePub ebooks particularly embedding audio/video in ePubs.
I've seen a number of examples that show embedding/playing a swf file in an epub and it plays ok in ADE.
However, I'd like to be able to embed a media player e.g. StrobeMediaPlayback.swf or JW Player and a media file and have the player play back the embedded media file.
When I try this the player shows up but it will not play the file.
I've included references to the swf and media files in the ePub manifest.
Here is an example object tag. This works fine if I load the html page in a browser like FireFox.
<object width="470" height="320" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="player.swf">
<param name="movie" value="player.swf"></param>
<param name="flashvars" value="file=video.flv"></param>
</object>

No, it is not. Worse, many people will view this in any old PDF viewer, most of which won't have overprint preview at all.
You need to send very clear instructions about this, with specific screen shots - or better, avoid tools and constructions that require it. Probably some wording about "need to view with suitable professional tools" will make the message more palatable.

Editor doesn't see text flowing around object

I've placed a psd file with a transparent background and next to it a text frame. The text flows around the non transparent parts of the object. When the editor opens the file, the image shows as kind of a preview version. Light coloured and with a non transparent background. But what's worse, the text isn't flowing around the object. Instead it flows around the object frame. See attached image. Left the view in Incopy, right in Indesign as it should be. What is causing this? When the editor edits the text and I open it again in Indesign, the text still flows around the man.

Both are CS3. I save the Indesign (with the correct text wrap around the alpha channel) and the assignment is opened in Incopy at a remote location (where ever the editors are). They see the image with the text wrapped around the image frame instead of the transparent part. The can edit the file and when I open it in Indesign again, the text flows around the non transparent parts again. The Indesign file is a new document. Doesn't matter whether I open the ID or IC file, both open with the text wrapped around the object. Only when the editor opens the IC file the text is wrapped around the image rectangle.

CUBEs, transcoding and media flow around.
