# Example Configurations

This section includes example configurations that demonstrate how to chain two Media Servers.

The following configuration, for the upstream Media Server, runs face detection and then sends the records to a Media Server at `gpu-mediaserver:14000`:

    [Session]
    Engine0=Ingest
    Engine1=FaceDetect
    Engine2=FurtherProcessing

    [Ingest]
    Type=Video

    [FaceDetect]
    Type=FaceDetect
    NumParallel=4
    FaceDirection=Front
    MinSize=10%

    [FurtherProcessing]
    Type=Post
    Input=FaceDetect.ResultWithSource
    Host=gpu-mediaserver
    Port=14000
    ConfigName=DownstreamFaceRec

The following configuration, for the downstream Media Server, runs face recognition on records received from other Media Servers. To match the upstream configuration, above, this should be saved as `DownstreamFaceRec.cfg`, in the folder specified by the `ConfigDirectory` parameter on the downstream Media Server.

    [Session]
    Engine0=RecordsFromUpstream
    Engine1=FaceRecognition
    Engine2=IDOL

    [RecordsFromUpstream]
    Type=Receive
    Input=FaceDetect.ResultWithSource

    [FaceRecognition]
    Type=FaceRecognize
    Input=RecordsFromUpstream.FaceDetect.ResultWithSource
    RecognitionThreshold=60
    MaxRecognitionResults=1

    [IDOL]
    Type=IDOL
    Input=FaceRecognition.Result
    IdolHost=content
    IdolPort=9000
    IdolDB=BroadcastVideo
    Mode=Time
    OutputInterval=60
    XslTemplate=toIDX.xsl
