Monitoring Transcribe Jobs in the Process App

MediaCentral Cloud UX offers process monitoring features in the Process app. You can monitor the jobs you initiated when triggering transcript creation and jobs of involved components. When signed into MediaCentral Cloud UX as a standard user, you are allowed to see only the jobs that you submitted. If an administrator enables the Master of Jobs entitlement for a user group, the users within that group can see the list of jobs submitted by all users.

By default, jobs of all types currently being used are shown as a list in the Process app that is sorted by the Name column in alphabetical order. You can modify the Process List to show only Transcribe jobs by using the following controls:

Control

Action

Groups filter (sidebar)

The following Groups filters can be used for monitoring Avid Ada Transcribe jobs:

  • Media Analytics

  • Audio Extract

  • Media Transcript

  • Distributed Processing Job

  • Distributed Processing Task

System filter (sidebar)

The following System filters can be used for monitoring Avid Ada Transcribe jobs:

  • Media Analytics

  • Unknown (displays Distributed Processing Job and Distributed Processing Task)

  • XForm (displays jobs of groups Media Transcript and Audio Extract)

n The filters Unknown and XForm will also show jobs that are not related to Avid Ada Transcribe.

Show Hierarchy toggle (toolbar)

To visualize the hierarchy of the jobs involved in the transcript creation, select the Show Hierarchy toggle button in the toolbar.

All jobs involved in the process chain for one transcript are shown as sub-jobs of a top-level Media Analytics job. Each top-level Media Analytics job shows the name of the asset for which the transcript is currently being created and the following prefix:

  • Transcribe: Shown for Media Analytics jobs triggered from the Transcript tab or triggered by the default Media Analytics rule.

  • Analytics: Shown for Media Analytics jobs triggered by custom Media Analytics rules.

All filters are cumulative. The best approach to display Avid Ada Transcribe jobs in the Process app is to use the Groups filter and Show Hierarchy toggle, as described in the following procedure.

n As a standard user, you only see the “Group” Media Analytics and “System” Media Analytics in the Process app for the transcribe jobs you triggered in the Transcript tab. The groups and jobs of type Audio Extract, Distributed Processing Job, Distributed Processing Task and Media Transcript are not shown. Only users of a group with Master of Jobs entitlement can see the all included groups and jobs.

    1. Click the Show Hierarchy button in the Process app toolbar so it turns blue.

    1. Click the Expand button to the left side of the Media Analytics group header to show all top-level Media Analytics jobs.

      Each top-level Media Analytics job shows the name of the asset for which the transcript is currently being created and a prefix (Transcribe or Analytics) in its name

    1. Click the Expand / Collapse toggle button in front of a top-level Media Analytics job to show or hide its sub-jobs.

      On the second hierarchy level, a Media Analytics<number> job for each partition is shown.

      • For non-growing clips, the partition size is 1 hour.

      Below each Media Analytics partition job, the involved Audio Extract, Media Transform, Distributed Processing Job and Distributed Processing Task jobs are shown.

    2. Click the Expand / Collapse toggle button in front of a parent job to show or hide its sub-jobs.
