Understanding Satellite Properties

Each Satellite is associated with the machine that added it to QUE. You can view a profile of that machine in the Satellites view in the QUE Dash by expanding the Satellite. Read below for detailed information about each property.

Authorization Information

When authorized, this area displays a graphic signifying that the Satellite has read and write access to QUE. The Satellite's ID, name, and the authorization's expiration date are displayed within the graphic.

Host Information

These properties describe the host machine that created the Satellite.

Property	Description	Notes
Authoring App	The name and version of the authoring application running on the Satellite
Data App	The version of Templater running on the Satellite
Data Feed	The URL the Satellite retrieves Job data from
Processing Scope	Whether the Satellite will process Jobs from all Campaigns or only from the single Campaign linked to Templater. The value can be one of the following: Single Campaign All Campaigns	In Templater, this value corresponds to the checkbox named This Satellite processes Jobs from all Campaigns found in the QUE Satellite Information group within the QUE Configuration dialog.
Output Mode	What type of assets the Satellite outputs. This value can be one or more of the following output tasks that the Satellite can execute: Render - The Satellite outputs video files of target compositions in data-merged Autografs Replicate - The Satellite outputs replicas of target compositions of data-merged Autografs Spot Check - The Satellite outputs still images or short video clips of selected frames within target compositions of data-merged Autografs	In Templater, this value corresponds to the checkbox selections next to the Actions label under the Bot Settings group found in the Templater Preferences dialog.
Output Naming	The naming scheme the Satellite uses when saving output assets. This value can be one of the following options: Unique - The Satellite uses a Job's inherent _id as the name for output Prepend - The Satellite uses a Job's inherent _id as the output name and uses the Job's output value as the path to a directory for saving the output Override - The Satellite uses a Job's output value as the name and path to a directory for saving the output	In Templater, this value corresponds to the selection under the Output Naming group in the QUE Configuration dialog.
Output Root	The directory root for where the Satellite saves output	In Templater, this value corresponds to the path found in the Destination field under the Output Options group in the main panel.
Footage Root	The directory root for where the Satellite retrieves footage assets from	In Templater, this value corresponds to the path found in the Footage field found under the Batch Assets group in the main panel.
