and bitrates using the Upload Additional Media option.

1. Click the Browse (...) button to select a file to upload.
2. Select a Bitrate for the video from the drop down. The available options are high, medium, and low. Note
this option is not available for MP3 files as bitrate is irrelevant in this case the bandwidth demands of
MP3 files are relatively low.
3. Enter a name for the video in the name text box, by default the name is taken from the filename. Note this
text box is not available if you are uploading an additional video. Note punctuation is not accepted only
numbers or letters are allowed.
4. Set the publish checkbox to change whether the uploaded video is published/hidden, this check box is not
available if you are uploading an additional video.Published videos are viewable by Tablet and Set-top
box users. If user access control is enabled for this archive then Published videos are viewable by Set-top
box users if the Set-top box user group has view permissions on this folder. Published videos are
viewable by PC and tablet users if the user group they belong to has view permission to this folder
.
5. Click Upload to begin uploading the video. Note that this process can take some time, especially with
large video files.
