Ingest Bypass Specifications (v6.8 & v6.9)

WorldNow customers can leverage existing file-based infrastructure to manage video assets and meta-data. From there, you can FTP ‘web-ready’ assets locally to your ingest bypass folder on the MVA via the Local Area Network (LAN). If you do not know if your MVA is set up for ingest bypass, please contact your Client Services Manager.

WorldNow’s system requires two video assets containing the same file name. For example:

• WMV: 20081024-ParisHiltonLeavesJail.wmv (required) • FLV: 20081024-ParisHiltonLeavesJail.flv (required)

The below specifications are recommendations. Please test all files. Even if the media you receive from third parties do not specifically match the specifications below, you need to ensure the video plays correctly in the Producer and player prior to adding it as a part of your normal workflow.
