Introduction
This document describes the components that need to be assembled together to create
a NewsBrowse XRE Conformance Server. The XRE server conforms an EDL created
by the NewsBrowse Advanced Edit to High Resolution movies on the Profile XP
server. The hardware components are listed in the next section, followed by the
software modules.
Features new in 2.0
• Audio Voice-overs. NewsEdit AdvancedEdit 2.0 supports audio voice-overs.
These voice-over clips can the be conformed and sent to a Profile.
• Rendering of se lected Video Transitions. NewsEdit AE 2.0 supports the
following transitions: Dissolve, Push, Slide. Video Compression types supported
by XRE ConformServe r 2.0 are: DV25, DVCPro25, DV50, MPEG2 (I-frame
only).
Hardware Components
The XRE server is designed to run on a Windows 2000 Server platform. The
minimum hardware configuration is as follows:
• 1.0 GHz Pen tium 4 processor
• 512 Mby te s of RA M
• Ethernet card (On-board Gigabit Eth er net in the case of DEL L 1650 or 2650)
• Fiber Channel Card (Qlogic or Emulex)
• 40 Gbytes hard disk (longer movies require larger drives)
The current hardware platform tested in Engineering is Dell 2650. The XRE server is
connected to two separate IP subnets. The first subnet, connected via the Ethernet
card, is shared with all the NewsBrowse Advanced Edit work stations. The second
subnet is connected via the Fiber Channel card to communicate with the Profile XP
servers.
Software Components
The following software components are required to run the XRE server:
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Service Pack 4
• Microsoft IIS 5.0
• Microsoft .NET Framework Redistributable
• Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000)
• GrassValley Profile Client software
• GrassValley Vibrint DLLs:
• CDRip.dll
• ProfileObject.dll

Services.asmx (Web Service entry point file)
_vti_cnf \ (leave empty, used by IIS)
_vti_pvt \ (leave empty, used by IIS)
_vti_script\ (leave empt y, us ed by IIS )
_vti_ctxt\ (leave empty, used by IIS)
bin\ (XRE DLLs)
