Mediasite works with Matrox Monarch LCS to provide an end-to-end workflow for recording video and automatically publishing it to Mediasite. This integrated workflow requires setting up an SFTP/FTP drop box location as a bridge between Mediasite and the Matrox.
Recorded video files will be saved to the publishing location and Mediasite will retrieve them. Mediasite imports the following metadata along with the video file: title, description, duration, and presenter. The airdate is always set to the date/time of the import.
