Configuration Overview

Before you begin processing a file or stream, you must create a configuration that instructs Media Server how to process the media.

You can configure Media Server by modifying the Media Server configuration file. However, you might want to process media from different sources, or run different analysis tasks for different types of media. Therefore HPE recommends that you do not configure ingestion, analysis, encoding, data transformation, event stream processing, or output in the Media Server configuration file. Instead, pass these settings to Media Server in the process action, when you start processing.

To pass a configuration to Media Server through the process action, you can:

A configuration that you specify in the process action overrides the [Ingest], [Analysis], [Encoding], [Transform], [EventProcessing], and [Output] sections of the Media Server configuration file.
