File Ingest Server and Transcode Server
The Vertigo File Ingest Server is a service responsible for automatically ingesting media into
the Xmedia Server from a user-created ingest folder. The File Ingest Server is also
responsible for issuing media conversion requests to the Transcode Server, which is the
service responsible for transcoding media from one format to another.
File Ingest Server can be configured to watch one or more folders by defining one or more
instances of the ingest service in the configuration file. Each instance defines the set of
rules that are mapped to each ingest folder being watched.
Information and instructions for using the File Ingest Server and Transcode Server are
provided in
“Ingesting media files using the File Ingest Server” on page 21-1 .
