Hello. This is tutorial will walk you through how to caption content using Automatic Sync's CaptionSync service through your Echo360 system. Captioning your Echo is actually a very simple process. There are two parts of this tutorial. The first part is going to cover installation and configuration and the second part will cover the scheduling and captioning actual captures. Generally the configuration and installation process needs to be done only once and then you can forget about it. To get started you're going to need to have your EchoSystem ready to go and you'll need to have a CaptionSync Login ID. If you do not have a CaptionSync Login ID contact AST at 877-278-7962 to get one. Okay, there are three steps to getting your system setup for captioning. First, we'll need to generate a public encryption key for your computer. Next we'll enroll that key on your Automatic Sync account and then finally we'll enroll that key on your Echo system that will allow the two systems to talk to each other securely. So, to start with, we'd like to start up a program called PuTTYgen to generate our secure encryption key. You can actually use any SSH key generator to do this, but we're going to show it to you with the publicly available program called PuTTYgen. If you do not already have PuTTYgen, you can get it at this website here: www.putty.nl/download. And the program that you're after is right here PuTTYgen. Okay, so go ahead and start up PuTTYgen.

Now this will allow you to generate the key -- first of all, in the parameter section makes sure you select SSH2-RSA as the key type and set the number of bits to be 1024. And just click the generate button and move the mouse around the window like it asks you to.

And you'll have a key generated in just a few seconds. There's your key. Now, there's two parts to the key that gets generated: A public part that we're going to enroll on the AST site and a private part that we're going to give to your Echo system. The public part appears right up here in this window. So go ahead and highlight that whole thing. And click Ctrl C to grab that. Okay, now, we're going to log in to your Automatic Sync CaptionSync account; let's go to the AST web page -- here's the AST homepage and just click the login button in the upper right hand corner and log in to your account. So this is whatever Login ID that was given to you by AST, we're going to use this account.

And then click the SSH keys link on the left hand nav. Now this controls all the keys that are enrolled for your account. You can have multiple keys if you've got many different machines accessing this account. Each machine that's going to access the account will have to have its own secure SSH key. To add a key we just click this plus sign beside the add keys and we paste in the key that we just cut out of the PuTTYgen. And you can add a note here to this key, which says what it's for, so this is for Echo Test. And then click the add key button and it will enroll it in the system. You'll see that the status shows as pending right away. Within about ten minutes that status will change to ready and it will be ready to go. Okay, one more thing we want to setup on your AST account before we log out is go to the submit link on the left hand nav. Choose the application type of web. If you have multiple application types available make sure you choose web because the Echo system is considered a web application type. And then click the advanced settings button. Here you can set up the defaults for a variety of different characteristics of what you want your captions to look like, but the key one that we want to pay attention to is we want to make sure that your chosen output includes the Apreso XML files. So if it's not already on the left hand side, find it in this list on the right hand side and move it over to the left, so that it's one of the chosen outputs. Then click the Save as default and click the apply changes button. This will make sure that the Apreso output is getting sent back to your Echo system for each job that gets submitted. Once you've done that you can log out of your AST account. 

Okay, so now with that done, let's go to your Echo system and log in to it. Log in to your Echo system server. Okay, now, click the configuration tab and then the publishing tab. Okay, and now we're going to add a new publisher and we're going to choose a type of "Closed captioning and transcript". Okay, we're going to give this a name and you can name it whatever you need it to be, but...

Okay and we have to give it a server name, so this is the AST server address and that is services -- oops.

[ Typing ]

services.automaticsync.com and the account name is your AST user ID. Okay, again that's the ID that we're using here. And now to get the private key let's go back to PuTTYgen and now we need the private portion of this. We go to conversions to begin with and we say export an Open-SSH key. And go ahead and acknowledge that you don't have a pass phrase on it. You don't want a pass phrase. Okay and we're just going to save this on the desktop in ourTestKey. 

[ Typing ]

Okay, let's go get that key now and we're just going to open that in WordPad. Okay and we can just cut and paste from here. Cut and paste the entire thing right from Begin RSA private key to End RSA private key. And we're going to paste it right here in this private key slot. And then we click the save button. Okay, that should be it. You are now configured and we are ready to move on to the second tutorial, which will show you how to actually schedule and use the captioning feature.
