IngestRate

The rate at which Media Server ingests video.

You must use IngestRate=1 for streams and in most cases HPE recommends IngestRate=0 for video files.

The parameter accepts the following values:

Options Default SampleInterval SampleInterval = 0
IngestRate=1

HPE recommends using these settings for processing live streams.

Media Server does not attempt to process every frame, but selects frames for analysis based on the specified sample interval. The default sample interval should provide good accuracy in most cases. However, Media Server might drop sampled frames to ensure that analysis occurs at normal (playback) speed.

If your Media Server does not have sufficient resources, it will not be able to analyze all of the frames that are sampled and will drop frames, causing a reduction in accuracy.

Media Server attempts to analyze every frame but frames are dropped if the analysis tasks you have configured cannot process the frames at normal (playback) speed.

HPE does not recommend these settings in any scenario because Media Server is likely to drop large numbers of frames.

IngestRate=0

HPE recommends these settings for processing video from files.

Media Server does not attempt to process every frame, but selects frames for analysis based on the specified sample interval. The default sample interval should provide good accuracy in most cases. If analysis is slow, Media Server ingests the file at a slower rate and does not drop frames.

If your Media Server does not have sufficient resources, it will take longer to process the file, but accuracy will be maintained.

Ensures that all frames are analyzed and no frames are dropped.

HPE does not recommend these settings because in most cases this will take much longer and may not result in a large increase in accuracy.

Use this mode only if it is critical that every frame is analyzed.
