VOD missions can be created using one of the following methods:
- Manual creation

- Live mission recording

Now the server will create the mission, upload the assets, ingest them into internal DB, calculate some geo information (like area) if there is enough required data available, and perform some additional tasks. Upon completion, the mission will be available for playback.

It is possible to automatically upload multiple missions using StServerUploader. You can also upload your videos to the server using ftp (or any other method) and use StServerUploader to ingest them.
