Just added two space so i can create a PR.

Pull Request instructions:

  • If the experimenters must do anything new, provide detailed step by step instructions on the wiki
  1. Open the settings file for the rig.
  2. Update the FFMPEG "output args" compression parameters to AIND file standard.

It should be this:

"-vf "scale=out_range=full,setparams=range=full:colorspace=bt709:color_primaries=bt709:color_trc=linear" -c:v h264_nvenc -pix_fmt yuv420p -color_range full -colorspace bt709 -color_trc linear -tune hq -preset p3 -rc vbr -cq 18 -b:v 0M -metadata author="Allen Institute for Neural Dynamics" -maxrate 700M -bufsize 350M -f matroska -write_crc32 0" 
  1. Run the dynamic foraging task. 2 only needs to be done once.

This will ONLY be updated for 446/447 rigs.

Describe the expected change in behavior from the perspective of the experimenter

None.

Describe any manual update steps for task computers

See above.

Was this update tested in 446/447?

Yes, with ella. See scratch folder link for the data.

Does this update impact downstream processing by adding new saved files, or changing their format? If so, have you documented changes?

I have not-- we can document the change that we are following AIND file standard for all fiber sessions.
