Ingest

This section describes parameters that you can use to configure ingestion. Set these parameters in the configuration that you pass to the process action when you begin processing, and not in the Media Server configuration file.

NOTE: A processing configuration must have exactly one ingest task. To process different types of media, for example image files and video streams, create two separate configurations.

In the [Session] section, use the Engine parameter to specify the names of your tasks. Each name refers to another section in the configuration that contains settings for the task.

You can specify a comma-separated list of names:

[Session]
Engine=IngestVideo,FaceDetection,FaceRecognition,ResizeImages,EncodeImagesToDisk,OutputToIDOL

Alternatively, you can use numbered parameters. Use a unique number for each task, starting from zero (0) and increasing by one each time:

[Session]
Engine0=IngestVideo
Engine1=FaceDetection
Engine2=FaceRecognition
Engine3=ResizeImages
Engine4=EncodeImagesToDisk
Engine5=OutputToIDOL

NOTE: Task names cannot include any of the following characters:

  • period (.)
  • comma (,)
  • colon (:)
  • semicolon (;)
  • asterisk (*)
  • equals sign (=)
