Click the Servers panel.
You will see your server listed, what is supports (Live Packaging, OD Packaging etc.) and the software versions.

Configure HTTP Headers of the origin server

HTTP Headers define the access rules to the origin server, and the CDN caching policy.
In the example below, we simply authorize any website to access any content on the origin server. This is not a valid production configuration; however this is fine for testing.
Minimum pattern is * Access-Control-Allow-Origin:*
On the left hand menu, click ‘Settings’
Now select ‘HTTP Headers’
Add a new entry using * for Url Pattern and Access-Control-Allow-Origin:* for the HTTP Headers.
Click ‘Save and Exit’

Catalog configuration

A catalog is an output definition, so we can create a catalog for HLS, for Dash, for Smooth Streaming and add the catalog’s (outputs) to our packaging service configurations.
Click add service and select catalog
This will allow the creation of a new Catalog.
Enter a name for the new Catalog.
