Uploading Videos with Aspera
Uploading with Aspera is available only to Video Cloud Enterprise customers.
In order to support the ingestion of large libraries over unreliable internet lines, Video Cloud supports Aspera, Inc.'s transfer technology, which is used by leading media organizations around the world to provide reliable and high performance delivery of content across the internet. Aspera's technology allows a publisher to upload content securely and achieve remarkably higher throughput, particularly for uploads originating from greater distances. Read what Aspera has to say about their transfer technology.
This topic describes how to use an Aspera Client as an alternative to uploading videos by FTP to the Video Cloud FTP server. You may also be able to install an Aspera browser plug-in that enables you to upload videos through Aspera using the Media module, as described in Using Accelerated Upload in the Media module.
Uploading videos to Video Cloud with Aspera works basically the same way as uploading with FTP batch provisioning. To use Aspera to transfer videos to your Video Cloud Media Library:
- Get and install an Aspera Client. Contact Aspera for information about purchasing the Aspera Client.
- Contact your Brightcove Account Manager for information you need in order to use the Aspera Client to connect to Video Cloud's Aspera server.
- In the Aspera Client's File Handling configuration screen, enable the Resume incomplete files option:
- Use the Video Cloud FTP batch provisioning feature to upload your videos. The process is identical using Aspera, except that instead of using an FTP client to connect to the Video Cloud FTP server, you use the Aspera Client to connect to the Video Cloud Aspera server. The main steps are:
- Prepare your videos for upload.
- Create an XML manifest that describes the videos and sets their metadata.
- Upload the videos, using the Aspera Client.
- Upload the manifest, using the Aspera Client.
When uploading with Aspera, do not submit file transfers in parallel. Doing so will not increase your upload speed and can cause uploads to fail. Uploads should be one file at a time.
