export triggers are:
(Avid) the sequence is drag and
dropped onto ArdEx or by using
a predefined export profile.
(Pinnacle) the sequence is fused
For exporting media files user login to MAM system is
required and for any of the above two cases a login dialog
appears.
Verify what happens if credentials entered in Login dialog are
correct.
Verify Main User interface of conform dialog.
In the Login dialog user name

exported to MAM system.
Check how progress of a job can be monitored by
Confirm/Status window
At the top of the window, a summary
of the request that has been
submitted is placed. I Below the
summary is a list of tasks that The
MAM system needs to perform to
complete the request. Each task has
a description and a colored indicator
that shows the current status of the
task, as follows:
Gray – indicates that the task has
not been started yet.
Yellow – indicates that the task is
currently in progress.
Page 10 of 11
Green – indicates that the task
finished without errors.
Red – indicates that something
went wrong and that the task has failed.
This will in most cases lead to a failed
request.
At the bottom of window is a progress
bar that will update itself with respect
to the status of the tasks involved to
finish the request. Once the progress
bar has reached 100% and all task
indicators have turned green, the
request operation to The MAM
system has been finished, and the
Conform dialog can be closed.
Verify what are the contents after export is completed.
The current total status is shown in
transfer window.
Verify whether it is possible to start a new export before and
after the completion of previous export which has been
submitted through conform dialog.
As soon as a request has been
submitted through the Conform
dialog, it is possible to export a new
sequence from the Avid editing client
and open yet another instance of the
Conform dialog, while still monitoring
the progress of the first request.
