which will receive and decode the media streams for
playback.
Manual FTP Upload
Under the actions menu for any video there is a manual
FTP icon. Clicking this icon will allow you to manually
transfer a video file and associated XML file to a remote
server. SCP, FTP, and FTPS are all available options for
transferring files. To transfer your desired file, choose
the Manual FTP icon in the actions menu. Enter the
server destination, Port number (optional for non
standard ports), Destination path, and credentials. You
can choose to delete the content after a successful
upload.
Metadata
Metadata tagging allows you to tag a video file with
information such as Author, Title, Keywords and more.
This information is stored in the header of the Video
file. A second copy of this information is stored within
an XML file that is downloaded or transferred alongside
the file. To add metadata to the file, select the video
you wish to edit and click on the metadata icon in the
Actions Menu associated with that file. Then enter your
desired information into the available fields.
Transcoding
The HD Portal plus supports file transcoding. This is a
manual post process procedure. To transcode a video
select the transcode icon under the actions menu
for the desired video. Select the desired formats you
wish to transcode from the pop-up menu. You can
choose: H.264, iPod and Flash formats. The transcoding
will happen in the background and appear as a new
file in your media library. The new file will have the
transcoded video type appended to the beginning of the
original file name for easy recognition. To see waiting
jobs reference the Job Management page.
