Overview

The IRIDAS Job (.ijob) file format is used in MetaRender's Job Queue Mode to submit jobs for processing.

Usually you will not have to create .ijob files manually. They are either generated by MetaRender when somebody submits a job remotely via the network interface, or by running MetaRender with the -createjob command.

Structure

An .ijob file is an XML file with the following structure:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<MetaRenderJob>
  <Error>"..."</Error>
  <QueuedAt>"..."</QueuedAt>
  <GUID>"..."</GUID>
  <QueuedBy>"..."</QueuedBy>


  <IRIDASComposition>
    ...
  </IRIDASComposition>

  <OutFile>...</OutFile>

  <EncodingProfile>
    ...
  </EncodingProfile>

  <BurnIn>
    ...
  </BurnIn>

  <RenderCalibLUTs>...</RenderCalibLUTs>

</MetaRenderJob>

Error

This field is filled in whenever the job failed to process correctly. In this case, the .ijob file is moved to the "failed" folder. Using MetaRender Commander you can re-queue the job.

QueuedAt

This field is used for jobs that are remotely submitted. It contains the timestamp showing when the job was queued.

GUID

This unique ID is set whenever a job is remotely submitted.

SubmittedBy

This field contains the host name of the computer that submitted the job remotely.

IRIDASComposition

This section contains a full IRIDAS timeline which is the source for the conversion.

Outfile

This field contains the output file name for the conversion.

EncodingProfile

This section contains a full IRIDAS Encoding Profile that describes the file format.

BurnIn

The BurnIn section contains burn in information, it is usually copied from a .burn file.

RenderCalibLUTs

When this field is set to '1,' any calibration look-up-tables that were provided with the timeline are rendered into the output. If set to '0,' calibration LUTs will be ignored (the default behaviour is '0').
