As a Vidispine API and Vidinet user, you have a big developer team [JS1] [NV2] [JS3] continually improving and adapting the core engine of Vidispine API to meet new feature and performance requirements. In this release of Vidispine API 5.2 we have some more news we can’t wait to share with you.
Now supports Cent OS 8.0
Vidispine has now qualified support for the latest Cent OS 8.0, the open-source version of the RedHat Linux distribution. The support for Cent OS 8.0 allows you to stay up to date with the latest RPM-based distributions for both RedHat and Cent OS in regards to updates and security patches."
Notification improvements
Use the Amazon Simple notification system (SNS) to coordinate and manage both delivery and sending of messaging to subscribing endpoints or clients.
Vidspine Server can trigger notifications on a number of events and resources.
See below example
When a new item gets imported into the Vidispine Server a notification can be triggered and sent to an SNS service to be distributed to several Simple Queue Services (SQS) queues read by different customer departments.
<NotificationDocument xmlns="http://xml.vidispine.com/schema/vidispine"> <action> <sns synchronous="false"> <contentType>application/xml</contentType> <endpoint>sns.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com</endpoint> <topic>arn:aws:sns:eu-west-1:#############:sns-topic-name</topic> <secret>aws</secret> </sns> </action> <trigger> ... </trigger> </NotificationDocument>
