1.1 About This Guide

This administration guide provides information required to set up and administer Inbound Refinery version 11gR1 on a computer running either Microsoft Windows or UNIX. The information contained in this document is subject to change as the product technology evolves and as hardware, operating systems, and third-party software are created and modified.

1.2 What’s New

The following product enhancements have been made for Inbound Refinery version 11gR1: ■ Flash Video Conversion supported: Inbound Refinery now supports FlipFactory version 6.1, which enables conversion to the Flash video format .flv. ■ Video to Audio Conversion supported: Inbound Refinery now supports conversion of video files to audio only. ■ New Version of Outside In Image Export: Inbound Refinery includes Outside In Image Export 8.3.2, which is used for thumbnailing, conversion to multi-page TIFF files, conversion to PDF without third-party applications. ■ Concurrent Conversion: Inbound Refinery now supports converting multiple content items simultaneously when using any conversion engine that supports concurrent multiple instances. This helps to prevent one content item from monopolizing the system and speeds the processing of content items through the refinery. ■ Microsoft Office 2007 Support: Inbound Refinery now supports Microsoft Office 2007 on win32 platforms, including saving an office document to HTML. 1-2 Administrators Guide for Conversion ■ Adobe Photoshop Scripting Support: Inbound Refinery now supports conversion using Adobe Photoshop scripting. ■ EXIF and XMP Data Now Extracted and Available to Inbound Refinery: Inbound Refinery now extracts EXIF data from digital photos and XMP data from native digital asset files and passes them to the refinery. This data is displayed on the rendition information page under the Image Data tab. To enable searching for content items using information in the EXIF or XMP data, Oracle Text Search is required. ■ Dynamic Renditions: Inbound Refinery can now construct renditions dynamically, using metadata input when checking in a digital asset. For example, by using custom metadata fields in conjunction with custom rendition sets, text entered on the check in page can be overlaid as a watermark on a digital asset. Similarly, pixel height and width can be entered and used to create specific rendition sizes. When used in conjunction with the new EXIF or XMP data extraction capabilities, any extracted data can be used for watermarking, such as datetime stamps, camera or location data.
