# Decode

A Boolean value that specifies whether Media Server decodes the ingested video.

NOTE: You must decode the video if you want to run analysis or transcode the video.

You might use this parameter when you only want to send an evidential copy of the ingested video to the rolling buffer. In this case, setting `Decode=False` can improve performance because Media Server does not need to decode the video.
