Passthrough settings guide

The Passthrough feature allows you to immediately provide streaming service using the uploaded original file as-is, without a separate encoding process. This feature is useful when you want to preserve the original video quality.

Upload method

Caution

• Priority: The category and encryption options in the Passthrough settings take precedence over the default console settings.
• Rule mismatch: Files that do not match the configured wildcard conditions are processed using standard encoding instead of Passthrough.
• Duplicate handling: You can upload files while preserving the local folder structure, and the system automatically filters out duplicate files in the queue.

Depending on your management purpose, you can choose one of two methods to configure.

Method 1: Single file upload

Used when servicing a single-resolution file independently.

• Configuration method: In the Passthrough settings window, leave the wildcard field empty and specify only the encoding profile.
• How it works: The uploaded file name is preserved as-is, and each file is registered as an individual content item in the system.

Method 2: Wildcard-based combined upload

Used when building a multi-bitrate environment where the video quality automatically adjusts to the viewer's network conditions.

• Configuration method: Enter a wildcard rule to recognize a specific pattern in the file name.
• How it works: When files of multiple resolutions (e.g., 360p, 720p) are uploaded, the system recognizes them as the same content and manages them together under a single content ID.
  • Example: If A_360.mp4 and A_720.mp4 are uploaded at the same time, the system recognizes them as the low-quality and high-quality versions of content A and builds a multi-bitrate environment.
• Wildcard rules: A wildcard identifies and removes a variable string in the file name, grouping different files together as one. The * character represents the variable string.

  Rule	Description	Application Example
  *_720p	Removes the _720p text at the end of the file name	part1_720p.mp4 → part1.mp4
  _720p	Removes the first occurrence of _720p text in the file name	part1_720p_v2.mp4 → part1_v2.mp4
