By default, the primary file of a repository object is used when you choose to view the object. However, you can select an alternate rendition of a file as the default rendition. This lets a rendition other than the primary rendition for previewing the file. For example, for a large, high resolution image file, you may set a smaller, low-resolution image as the default rendition. For video objects, a small section of the video (a sub-clip) may be taken and set as the default, allowing you to preview a brief section of the video rather than the entire primary file.
You can select any rendition of a file to be the default rendition.
A file can have only one default rendition. The icon appears next to the default rendition. Video objects with a streamable default rendition are indicated with the icon
