The Import player skins into catalogs... button allows to import the player skins available from Brightcove into Cumulus catalogs.

A player skin is required and must be specified in the metadata of each video uploaded to Brightcove. Without a specified player skin, uploaded videos can’t be streamed from the Video Cloud in Cumulus Portals or Cumulus Web Client

The Import player skins into catalogs... button allows to import the player skins available from Kaltura into Cumulus catalogs.

A player skin is required and must be specified in the metadata of each video uploaded to Kaltura. Without a specified player skin, uploaded videos can’t be streamed from the Video Cloud in Cumulus Portals or Cumulus Web Client

Field Mapping: Use this table to configure the mapping of Cumulus fields to Kaltura fields. All fields listed in this table will be mapped. Fields can be added to the list via the Add button.

Cumulus fields can be mapped to standard Kaltura fields (such as creatorID, userID, and description), or to custom fields defined at Kaltura.

At Kaltura, custom fields are contained in so called Metadata Profiles. There can be a multitude of such profiles, each of which can contain many custom fields. When setting up the Field Mapping, you first select the Cumulus field you want to map, then the Metadata Profile that contains the target field, then the target field itself.

Mapping itself is initially performed during the upload of a video to Kaltura. Field values modified in Cumulus can be synced to Kaltura anytime by means of a Video Coud trigger action (see Trigger). (Exception: the Kaltura standard field creatorID is set once during the upload, and can not be changed later.)

Cumulus fields can be mapped to standard movingimage fields (such as Description, Video Title, Keywords), or to custom fields defined at movingimage. When setting up the Field Mapping, you first select the Cumulus field you want to map, then the target field. However, only the movingimage standard fields are displayed and can be selected in the Add Field dialog. To set a custom field as target, you must enter its name manually in the Add Field dialog.
