Create Video Dataset
Feature Description
A video dataset manages multi-source video data in various formats. One video dataset can manage single or multiple videos, storing information such as video paths, video registration, and extents for efficient storage and management. Before using video data in SuperMap iDesktopX, you need to create a video dataset to ingest videos. When creating a new video dataset, you can also quickly spatialize videos using camera parameters.
- Local Video: Supports five formats: *.mp4, *.avi, *.rmvb, *.flv, *.mov
- Online Video: Supports video streams via RTSP, HLS(m3u8), RTMP, HTTP-FLV, and HTTP-MP4 protocols
Feature Entry
- Start Tab -> New Dataset Group -> Video

Steps
- Import Video: Open the Add Video Data dialog through Entry 1 above to add local or online videos:
- Local Video: Click the Add Local Video button and select one or multiple local videos
- Online Video: Click the Add Online Video button and enter the online video URL. For environment configuration, refer to the Streaming Data Service Configuration page
- Spatialize Video: Choose whether to spatialize video data during dataset creation. When enabled, the system will automatically use the camera parameter file with the same name in the video's directory:
- Fixed-Point Camera Parameters: For stationary videos. Requires manual input of camera position, device information, and field of view parameters. Details in Video Parameters Description
- Parameter File Registration: Select a parameter file containing timestamps, camera locations, device info, and field of view parameters. See Camera Parameter Registration and Video Parameters Description
- After importing videos, specify the coordinate system for the video dataset in the New Dataset window. Note: Must be a projected coordinate system (default: WGS_1984/Web_Mercator). For other parameters, see Create Dataset
