Thumbnail Offset – The server displays a thumbnail for all imported content by capturing a
frame from the file. The thumbnail offset is the point in the file where the server captures the
frame. Enter a thumbnail offset in seconds or use the default of 20 seconds.

Create TBDs when importing CSVs – TBD is a placeholder that allows you to schedule an
event before you even have the content. For TBD to work, you have to already know when
you expect to ingest the content, how long it should be, and the precise filename. To enable
this feature, check “Create TBDs when importing CSVs”. If you are used to scheduling via
CSV, this will automatically create TBDs for any item that does not yet have associated
content. Note: your Source name has to match the filename of the TBD content exactly.
Click on the Save button at the bottom of the screen to save the import settings. To return to the
Configuration menu without making changes, click the Cancel button.
