NotchLC to NotchLC7th

NotchLC when in a .mov wrapper has LZ4 compression within it. This compression utilises the CPU and therefore it takes longer to process a frame. By removing the LZ4 compression we can optimise the performance of the system for NotchLC playback.

A small utility called ‘NotchLCto7th.exe’ is Installed with Delta 2.8.7 and resides in: C:\Program Files\7thSense\Delta\Utilities\NotchLCTo7th.

The NotchLC to NotchLC7th tool:

•keeps the media as NotchLC format

•removes the LZ4 compression and .mov wrapper

•converts the .mov into an image sequence of .7th frames.

Run NotchLCto7th.exe in a command window with the following arguments:

Command Line Argument	explanation
-in=SourceMovFileIncPath	Absolute path to the NotchLC codec to unwrap
-out=Target7thStubIncPath	Path to a folder where the unwrapped frames will be output

Example:

NotchLCTo7th -in=c:\Movies\MyNotchLCFile.mov -out=c:\Movies\7th\MyNotchLC7th

Notes

•Use backslashes ('\') as the separator between folder names, as this is required for Windows paths.

•Use quotes to enclose paths with spaces: "C:\Movies\Folder with Space\MyNotchLC7th".

•Delta Media Server does not support embedded audio within the NotchLC .mov file. The NotchLC to NotchLC7th converter does not support embedded audio either.
