Video Media Center - VMC 1000 User Guide

Programs

A program is the bottom level of the content hierarchy. A program is a metadata “wrapper” that controls access to resources published using VMC 1000. Programs aggregate related streaming files and downloadable files from the Resource Bin for online presentation. There can be several Resource Bin items associated with a single program. For example, a program can contain the same video in multiple bit rates, or non-related video files with different bit rates. Programs are owned by the owner of the channel in which the program resides.

Groups

Groups allow Site Administrators to create groups of users and assign roles to them. These groups are also available to Site Administrators to assign to programs to limit access of the program to specified groups.

In a domain that uses an LDAP realm, groups are read from the datastore, and cannot be modified, nor can additional groups be manually added through the system.

Resource Bin

The Resource Bin is a virtual file system for all streaming and downloadable files uploaded into the VMC 1000. In order to create a program with streaming files, or streaming and downloadable files, you must first populate your Resource Bin. In the Resource Bin, you can:

•Upload new resources.

•View or edit information associated with existing resources.

•Organize Resource Bin items within Resource Bin folders.

•View shared resource files.

When you create a program, you are prompted to choose resource files from the Resource Bin. The Site Administrator and the Content Owner can both manage the Resource Bin. The Site Administrator can view all resources. Content Owners can only view shared or public resources, and only the private resources they own or manage (streaming, downloadable, thumbnail, etc).
