Requirements for Creating Assets Using an SaaS

•
You must create an account with encoding.com; you provide that login/ID to the
SFAssetGenerator script.
•
The scripts require Python to be installed in the machine that will run the scripts.
•
The scripts currently run only on Linux-based systems.
•
An FTP service on the system must be enabled and FTP credentials for the Output folder
used must be available to the scripts.
•
You must have proximity to an origin server system; the same system can be used as an
origin server or the origin server can be NFS mounted to this system.
Note! A typical configuration would have the FTP server, scripts, and origin server running on
the same system or the origin storage can be NFS mounted on the publishing system.
Note! The entire multi-bitrate publishing workflow is not fully automated and requires content
owners to take two steps of manual intervention to trigger the scripts and configure the
encoding parameters.
