Workflow Example

The North Shore mRSS Server is a web server with a custom North Shore automation app installed that allows users to publish media (typically video and a thumbnail file) and metadata as an mRSS feed. In an RSS distribution workflow, The receiving party subscribes to the feed and anything that the publisher posts is automatically downloaded. (More info on mRSS here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_RSS )

The server is delivered as a pre-configured virtual machine that may be deployed on premises or in a cloud hosting environment. (AWS currently preferred, contact North Shore for compatibility of other hosts/platforms.)
