Special Considerations for your SAFARI Montage Environment
  • Interoperability Support
    • LTI integrations require that SSL be configured and LTI Consumer Tools must use HTTPS when configuring the LTI Launch URL in version 8.x or later
  • SAFARI Montage Endpoints
    • SAFARI Montage Endpoints must be configured to use the host name of the SAFARI Montage server in version 8.x or later. Using an IP address in 8.x or later will result in a security error displaying on the Endpoint.
  • Lecture Capture and SupeTube
    • SupeTube and Lecture Capture recordings do not support ABR conversion. The SAFARI Montage Auto-Converter must be configured to enable "Convert to H.264 MP4s:" if the "Adaptive Bitrate Streaming (ABR)" auto-conversion option is enabled.
  • Classroom Media Contollers (CMCs)/KIOSKs
    • CMCs and KIOSKs do not support playback of ABR video and require that the SAFARI Montage Auto-Converter be configured to enable "Convert to H.264 MP4s:" if the "Adaptive Bitrate Streaming (ABR)" auto-conversion option is enabled and requires SuperSet 37 or earlier content drives for playback of packaged content
