Media Ingest Portal


General overview

The Media Ingest Portal (MIP) is Paramount’s proprietary platform for the secure upload of media and ancillary assets.

Access and Account Setup

  • Account Requests: Access is granted on an individual basis and must be requested through the GMC Onboarding Team. Please note that accounts are linked to specific individual email addresses. Due to Two-Factor authentication we cannot create account for group email addresses or distribution lists.
  • Provisioning: Upon receipt of the authorized email addresses, the MIG Technical Onboarding Team will provision the MIP account and establish a dedicated “shell” for initial test file delivery.

Onboarding and Delivery Workflow

  1. Test File Submission: The distributor is required to upload a test file to the designated shell.
  2. Quality Control (QC): Following a successful QC assessment of the test asset, production shells for the final content will be generated.
  3. Final Delivery: Once production shells are active, the distributor may proceed with uploading the actual content.
