We suggest you start by reading the general instructions on Creating a Catalog item first.


Video as a content designator is used for video files played back using Aggregion Player. 

End users will not be able to download files directly into their devices or access them bypassing Aggregion Player. Content will be played online.

The buyer may recall any Video file from the user and then reissue it again provided this has been allowed by the copyright holder through the Content Management Center.

When granted access to a Video file, the user will receive an email containing the file name, user instructions for any files added to the catalog item, and a link to begin playback. A link to detailed user instructions for Aggregion Player will also be provided.

1. To create a catalog item containing Video, select this specific content type (red arrow on Exhibit 1). Content type may only be selected once. Once selected and saved, it cannot be changed.
