The CCHD system automatically converts your video file into two formats: The first is a low-resolution preview that can be viewed in your browser through the CCHD interface; the second is a device-friendly MPEG that is distributed to the player.

NOTE: All videos uploaded need to be at least six seconds in length, and must be under 10 GB in size.

Adding Videos to MediaHD

1. While in MediaHD, select the tab for Videos.

2. Click the Add Media button. In the new window, click the Choose File button to open the file explorer to choose a file or files from your computer to upload. You can either hit the Open button in the file explorer window, or drag and drop the file(s) into the Choose File window.

NOTE: There is no limit to the amount of files you can upload at a time, but the more files will cause slower upload times. Also, keep in mind that there is a 10 GB cap to all Media files uploaded into CCHD.

3. After selecting your Media file(s), the window will display your file(s) with the following optional settings:

• File Name - Clicking on the name of the file allows you to edit the name for the asset in CCHD.
• Video Quality - Select the video quality you would like to output on your device. A higher setting will require more time to upload and process the file.
• Activate/Deactivate - You can choose to have this file available for playback on your signage (Green) or to deactivate it for now (Red), the file will still upload into your MediaHD and can be reactivated.
• Video Orientation - Select the orientation for your video file based on the Campaign Format you will add the video to: Horizontal or Vertical. Once the video has uploaded, this option CAN NOT BE CHANGED.
• Settings - Add this video into any of your CommandCenterHD groups or add a custom tag to better search this asset.
• Remove - To cancel this file upload, you can click on this button.

5. Once the file settings have been completed, click the Upload Media button. As the items upload, their spaces will turn green. When they are 100% uploaded, click Done.
