Ingesting media files using the File Ingest Server
Configuring an ingest server instance
The File Ingest Server can be configured to watch one or more watch folders by defining
instances of the ingest server in the File Ingest Server Control Panel (figure
21-4 ). Each
instance defines the set of rules that are mapped to a watch folder and determines how the
files will ingested, including if any file format conversion is necessary.

To configure a new ingest server instance:
1.
Open the File Ingest Server Control Panel by selecting:
S
TART >P ROGRAMS >V ERTIGO >C ONTROL P ANELS >F ILE I NGEST S ERVER C ONTROL P ANEL .
The File Ingest Server Control Panel appears, possibly with a few initial error messages:
• If the File Ingest Server is actively running, the lower message bar states:
C ONNECTION TO THE LOCALHOST F ILE I NGEST S ERVER , and you may proceed.
However, if the File Ingest Server is not actively running, the lower message bar
turns red and states: C
ONNECTION LOST TO THE LOCALHOST F ILE I NGEST S ERVER . In
such a case, restart the File Ingest Service before proceeding (see page 21-4 ).
• The Bad configuration file error message (figure 21-5 ) may appear if an existing
instance is not properly configured. For example, the File Ingest Control Panel
contains initially contains only one default instance (Instance1) that has not yet been
configured. In any case, click OK to proceed.
