Production Scripts

These scripts are provided "as is" and without any warranty or support.
Use at your own risk - your mileage may vary.

The scripts contained in this package (22k) have been written by or for the Softimage Service Bureau, also known as the Production Department. They were devised out of special needs and are still in use. Before installing them, verify that your system is able to accept these scripts without major changes.

By default, these scripts are placed in the user's home directory in a directory called prod. You may change it to your requirements.

Abekas, Accom and Sierra

These scripts use the Softimage standalones "soft2yuv" and "yuv2soft". They also use the image "colorbar.yuv" when the one to be recorded to the DDR is missing. You have to edit the scripts to relocate this colorbar. In case of errors during the recording sessions, they write to another script for you to consult, so some editing may also be required here. Aliases are important: you have to add to your home directory .cshrc file the following:

	alias seeabekas 'more ~/bin/.seeabekas'
	alias clabekas  'rm ~/bin/.seeabekas;touch ~/bin/.seeabekas'
Of course, those two examples were related to the Abekas. You have to do the same for the Accom and the Sierra.

The script Sierra calls for a special rcp command called "scp". It is part of the prod directory but must be checked for proper version. If this one is not working with your Quick Frame, you have to order a new version directly from Sierra Design Lab.

The Checkseq

The Checkseq script uses the Softimage standalone "howmany" to verify the frames.
