Rendition DUIDs

A DUID is a descriptive tag that ties together the important rendition characteristics; for example, the height, width and frame rate of a video rendition.

The Video Rendition DUIDs and Audio Rendition DUIDs tables below describe the DUIDs of the available renditions for video and audio, respectively, and map them to the Media Agent Dashboard content download options on the Content Options tab of the Content Profile page:
