About Programs

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. For more information about how programs work with categories and channels, see Chapter 1, “About the VMC 1000.”

Understanding Program Access Status

Program access describes whether the program is accessible by Viewers. Each program has a number of attributes that define whether the program is available to Viewers, and if so, under what conditions. These are:

•Program Completeness

•Status (active or suspended)

•Parent Channel's Status

•Start & End Listing Dates

•Private Program

•Group Association

•Encode Only (never available)

Based on all the attributes, a program can be:

•Available: Accessible by any Viewer, authenticated or not.

•Incomplete: Program requires additional information before it can be used.
