Stage handler settings for movingimage

This article contains an overview of the different stage handler settings for a movingimage stage handler. movingimage (or movingimage24) is an Enterprise video platform.

Channel Scope

In the "Channel Scope" section, you determine which channel structures should be created on movingimage.

Channel Scope: As opposed to the "Scope" field in the "General" section, which determines the assets that get published, this field determines which node structure(s) will be reflected on movingimage. All sub-nodes of the node(s) you specify here will be represented by their own channel in movingimage.
Behavior annotations
- For empty sub-nodes of the specified Channel Scope node, no channels will be created.
- For the Channel Scope node itself, no channel will be created. Assets located inside that node will be synchronized to "All Videos" on movingimage and can be accessed there.
- If assets are moved from one Scope node to another, the synchronized assets will be moved accordingly between channels on movingimage when the next sync is executed.
- If nodes within the Channel Scope are renamed or moved in CELUM Content, the corresponding channels on movingimage will NOT be renamed/moved. Instead, new channels will be created to reflect the changes.
- When you unpublish a stage handler from movingimage, only the assets are removed. The created channels remain on movingimage with no assets.
Recursive: Determines whether the chosen node structure underneath the Channel Scope node should be recreated as a channel structure recursively (including all sub-nodes on all levels).
Root Channel: In addition to the Channel Scope, you can specify an existing movingimage channel under which all channels that are synced will be created on movingimage. If you leave this field empty, the synced channels will be created on root-level on movingimage .
Sync Custom Preview: Determines whether the video preview image which was defined in CELUM Content should also be synchronized and displayed on movingimage. If you check this check box, it is recommended that you also enter a valid Download Format ID in the field "Download Format ID (Preview)". If you do not specify an ID, you will get a warning message and the preview won't be synchronized correctly.
Download Format ID (Preview): Specify the ID of a download format to which the preview image should be converted on upload.

The chosen download format must use the "Download Preview" process. A super-administrator with access to the Configuration Management Application can give you a suitable ID.
Download Release: Determines whether the videos published with this stage handler should be downloadable from movingimage.

Synchronization

The "Synchronization" section contains fields that govern the synchronization behavior.

Download Format: Determines the format that synchronized assets will be converted to during upload to movingimage.
Sync Profile: Choose one of the movingimage profiles that are defined in the Configuration Management Application. The profile contains the movingimage user account that should be used for uploading the videos.

The instructions for creating a Sync Profile in the CMA can be found in the Customer Knowledge Base.
Video Description: Specify the description that should be displayed on movingimage for the uploaded assets.
Automatic Publication: Determines whether the uploaded asset should also be published on movingimage directly after upload. If this checkbox is checked, the fields in the "Publication Period" section become editable.

Publication Period

The fields in the "Publication Period" section will only be taken into account if the "Automatic Publication" checkbox in the "Synchronization" section is activated. The section contains date and time fields to control the publication schedule:

Start date: Defines the date when the uploaded assets should be published on movingimage. You can use a date picker to select a date.
Start time: Defines the exact time when the uploaded assets should be published. You can choose a fixed hour a which publication will start.
End date: Defines the date when the uploaded assets should be unpublished from movingimage. You can use a date picker to select a date.
End time: Defines the exact time when the uploaded assets should be unpublished. You can choose a fixed hour at which publication will end.
Date for deletion: Defines the date when the uploaded assets should be deleted from movingimage. You can use a date picker to select a date.
Time for deletion: Defines the exact time when the uploaded assets should be deleted. You can choose a fixed hour at which publication will end.

Publishing Guidelines

In the "Publishing Guidelines" section, you set the name resolvers for assets and channels that get synchronized to movingimage.

Video Name Resolver: Specify the naming of the synchronized Assets in movingimage . The value "Default Name Resolver", which is available out-of-the-box, causes the synchronized videos to be named like the asset name in CELUM Content.
Channel Resolver: Specify the naming of the Channels that are created in movingimage . The value "Default Channel Resolver", which is available out-of-the-box, causes the created channels to be named like the corresponding CELUM Content nodes.

Information about how you can implement custom resolvers is provided in the "movingimage Developer How-To: Custom Resolver" chapter in the Customer Knowledge Base.
