What does “ingest” mean in VideoDB?
Ingest is not just upload. It is a pipeline that takes raw video files from any source, normalizes them, makes them streamable, and prepares them for indexing and agentic workflows. The goal is predictable, programmable media inputs.
What file sources can I ingest from?
Do I need to move my archive into VideoDB storage?
