Add media (Smooth Streaming, MP4, Slide OCR, Slides) to streams on multiple presentations. When adding media to a stream, you may need to update the server group used by the selected presentations to ensure that the specified content type can be streamed. When new media is added, new jobs are queued on the transcoder.
When you enable slide generation on a video stream, Mediasite automatically generates slides from the video stream. In on-demand presentations, the generated slides are used in place of secondary video streams on mobile devices and are used in seek player views when using the MultiView Player.
You will enable OCR detection to extract text from slides. When a presentation with OCR detection enabled is published to Mediasite, OCR detection is automatically done for its slides. OCR detection allows users to search a presentation’s slide text by entering key words or phrases. Users can then use the search results to view the presentation at the times where the search term is found.
Adding media to streams only adds media to presentations that do not already have the selected media type. It does not change existing media settings.
