      Uploading Files to VieBit VOD

      Transferring your video files from a computer or a LEIGHTRONIX video server to your VieBit video-on-demand account.

      There are two ways to upload a video file to your VieBit VOD account. You can use a LEIGHTRONIX video server authorized on your VieBit account or upload directly using the VieBit website.
      LEIGHTRONIX video servers that can upload to a VieBit VOD account:
      • UltraNEXUS-HD Series
      • UltraNEXUS
      • UltraNEXUS-SDI
      • IncodeX Vier
      • LABvault-HD
      • LABvault-SD
      • PEGvault-SD        

      NOTE: You can check to see if your server is authorized for upload from the Account Status page in the VieBit Administration area of your VieBit account. The serial number of the video server must be listed under the Authorized Encoders section. Otherwise, you will need to contact LEIGHTRONIX Support to have the server added.
