Configure DAM - Kaltura integration | HCL Digital Asset Management

This section provides the steps on how to get the Kaltura Partner ID and Admin secret ID and configure the Kaltura Video Content Management System integration, provided with HCL DX 9.5 CF19 and higher releases, to accelerate Digital Asset Management rich media integration to HCL WebSphere Portal site pages and content.

Kaltura is a video platform provider that helps in video creation, management, and collaboration. It provides on demand and live video software as a service (SaaS) solution. It also provides a platform for hosting videos and streaming videos. Integrating with Kaltura helps in linking the web content with your video assets.

Kaltura video plugins enable content authors to manage, edit, clip, transcode, publish, share, and deliver high-quality video content that displays on any device, anywhere, all within the Digital Asset Management environment.

Prerequisite

HCL WebSphere Portal 9.5 customers will need to separately acquire access to the Kaltura Video Content Management System service and Kaltura Management Console (KMC). Notes:

• All videos uploaded to HCL Digital Asset Management are synchronized after the Kaltura Video Content Management System and plugin are configured and enabled. Configuring Kaltura integration, including enabling/disabling of the Kaltura plugin, is done by the Digital Asset Management Administrator.
