For Signage, the standard Max Bitrate supported is 5 Mbps (megabits per second) measured on average bitrate
Videos that have a bitrate that is over your tenants limit will not be added to playlists
The bitrate limited for your tenant can be increased by Korbyt Support, but will put greater strain on your media players
Video Codec selection, not just format can cause complications with complex video playback
For more details see Best Practices for Video Content
Audio Formats
- .mp3
- .mp4a
- .aac
Other Supported Documents
These document types are supported in Korbyt, but can not be added directly to playlists for display on screens.
- .doc/docx
- .odt
- .xls/xlst
- .ods
- .ppt/pptx
- .odp

If a .ppt/.pptx or .pdf file is imported it will be transcoded into one image per slide/page and placed in a separate folder so that images may be easily added to a playlist for signage.
This transcoding process may have to substitue fonts when it processes.
If Font and design consistancy is critical and the result is meant to be displayed on a Playlist, it is suggested to save the PPT or PDF file as an image file type on your computer to be uploaded to Korbyt
