Ingest Video from VMS

Media Server can ingest video from a Micro Focus Video Management Server.

To ingest video from VMS

  1. Create a new configuration to send to Media Server with the process action, or open an existing configuration that you want to modify.

  2. In the [Session] section, add a new task by setting the EngineN parameter. You can give the task any name, for example:

    [Session]
    Engine0=Ingest
  3. Create a new section to contain the task settings, and set the following parameters:

    Type The ingest engine to use. Set this parameter to VMS.

    For example:

    [Ingest]
    Type=VMS

    TIP: There is no configuration parameter to specify the source. You must specify the URL of the stream that you want to ingest as the value of the Source parameter in the Process action, when you start processing.

  4. Save and close the configuration file. Micro Focus recommends that you save your configuration files in the location specified by the ConfigDirectory parameter.
