# IngestRate

The rate at which Media Server ingests video.

You can set this parameter to one of the following values:

- `1` - This is the default value. Media Server ingests video at normal (playback) speed. Assuming there are no external limitations such as network bandwidth, Media Server ingests one minute of video every minute. If an analysis task cannot process frames at this speed, frames are dropped.

  Note: To process a live stream, you must set `IngestRate=1`.

- `0` - The rate at which video is ingested is determined by the slowest analysis task that you have configured. Media Server ingests video without dropping frames. Analysis tasks such as keyframe analysis are very fast, and can analyze thousands of frames per second. Others, such as optical character recognition, are slower. At this rate, the amount of time required to ingest a video file depends on the analysis tasks that you have configured and the resources available to Media Server. Use this option when it is critical that no frames are dropped, or when you have configured only fast analysis operations and want to process files as fast as possible.
