Author Topic: FTP ingest between Sony and Doremi Ian Freer Expert Film Handler Posts: 135 From: Wellington, New Zealand Registered: Oct 2003 posted 10-22-2013 10:40 AM                     Is it possible to set up a Sony LMT-300 and Doremi ShowVault to be able to transfer content directly between them? I rarely come across Sony's but working a Film Festival where we have one as a back-up in case of problems with the main projection system. It would be nice to be able to transfer the content quickly rather than having to ingest twice via USB.

Not successful really.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 10-22-2013 04:14 PM                     I don't think you can access the FTP on a SONY LMT 300. I don't think you can access an FTP folder from an LMT300 either. It uses FTP protocol, but it's for internal use. You can access an FTP folder from an XTC-10 and you can also access its content by FTP. Pete, Dolby is removing the assetmap files when ingesting, so Doremi will recognize the content as corrupted. I know there was a plan to stop doing so, but haven't checked on latest software if that is still the case!  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 10-22-2013 04:23 PM                     You can ftp LMT300 and XCT-S10 - their internal transfer mechanism is FTP with predefined login parameters. Wether this is successful from a Doremi, I don't know. But bidirectional access is not needed anayway. If the Sony can ftp into the Doremi, that would be sufficient. I don't know a cinema with both server types. Even if, they would probably transfer content from a TMS, not directly between the servers. If it is a Sony XCT-S10, CRU and USB 3.0 ingest is extremely fast. If it is a LMT300, it has only USB2.0, and network transfers are faster. Hard to tell wether network transfers would be a benefit over parallel CRU Ingests. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 10-22-2013 04:48 PM                     Great I did not know you could access the content on the LMT, only the SMS. You've got a PM!  |  IP: Logged Sascha Roll Film Handler Posts: 2 From: Berlin, Germany Registered: Jun 2008 posted 11-02-2013 04:28 PM                     Of course it's not a problem to connect Dolby / Doremi / Sony Servers. All you need is the FTP-Login for the Sony Server. (User: "s2suser", PW: "sahbicwd"). I guess you know the IP-Adress of your LMT.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 11-17-2017 12:49 AM                 It has been 1475 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Alexandre Pereira Expert Film Handler Posts: 126 From: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jan 2016 posted 11-17-2017 12:49 AM                        "All you need is the FTP-Login for the Sony Server.

Is this a permissions issue on the Sony side?  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 11-17-2017 06:19 AM                     Do you use a PC/FTP client software, or a second DCI server to access the Sony? - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Alexandre Pereira Expert Film Handler Posts: 126 From: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jan 2016 posted 11-17-2017 11:05 AM                        Hi Carsten PC - using Filezilla - wow - I just tried it on passive mode and it works. Maybe Filezilla needed to be restarted. I kept getting the OOPS: 500: CHILD DIED error every time I attempted a down load. Also settings in Filezilla needs to be set to Auto - for file transfer type.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 11-17-2017 02:04 PM                     I would suggest 'Binary'. -Carsten  |  IP: Logged Alexandre Pereira Expert Film Handler Posts: 126 From: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jan 2016 posted 11-17-2017 02:32 PM                        I tried binary - does not like it. That is when the error comes up OOPS 500...auto works. At least it does with filezilla. Have not tried it with any other FTP client. Any idea how you would be able to FTP from a DSS100 to the Sony?...DSS is at 192.168.241.3 and Sony is at 192.168.1.10?...would you need a switch or can this be bridged through a linux box?  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 11-17-2017 04:12 PM                     The Sony has three network interfaces. You should set the Data network port to the same network as the Dolby. Wether they speak 'compatible' FTP dialects, I don't know. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 11-17-2017 09:07 PM                        Dunno if that would work with a Sony, but I've certainly configured a Barco Alchemy to pull content from two DSS200s on the same subnet by configuring one of its two network cards on the Dolby media network ("theater network" as the Dolby documentation calls it) - 192.168.241.X / 24, and then setting up the two DSS200s as FTP network ingest sources. According to the Barco documentation, it will look several folder layers down in any FTP server it logs on to, so in this case it looked in the generatedPackages folders on the DSS200, saw all the CPLs, and listed them as DCPs available for network ingest. quote: Marco Guistini, four years ago Dolby is removing the assetmap files when ingesting, so Doremi will recognize the content as corrupted. I know there was a plan to stop doing so, but haven't checked on latest software if that is still the case! That was fixed in software version 4.9, released earlier this year. The "outgest" function from the Show Manager GUI will now export all the DCP files to your USB or CRU drive: it won't skip the PKL and assetmap. Regardless of what version of software is in use, you can also export a DCP via FTP from the generatedPackages folder: find the UUID using Show Manager, then download the entire contents of that folder name.  |  IP: Logged
