Suggested upload file specs
As an 'room administrator' you can upload contents to Webgate, manage them or make them available to other users.
Container formats
You can upload clips in the container formats .mxf, .mov, .m4v or mp4 with common codecs like H.264, ProRes etc. which are then converted by Webgate to optimized streaming formats.
Audio channel assignment
The audio channel assignment of the video file should ideally be an interleaved stereo file. You can also upload videos with multi-channel audio to Webgate. In this case Webgate will perform a generic downmix. In the case of 5.1 interleaved audio, Webgate expects the audio channel assignment: L, C, R, LS, RS, LFE. If you upload a video with 5.1 multi-mono tracks to Webgate, the assignment L, R, C, LFE, LS, RS is expected.
If you add a video with 16 multi-mono tracks, Webgate uses channel 1 for left and channel 2 for right.
