Dynamic media is disabled by default. If you would like to take advantage of dynamic media in your assets,
you need to enable dynamic media. Before enabling, make sure to review the technical requirements.
By enabling Dynamic Media every uploaded image asset will receive a cqdam.pyramid.tiff rendition that is
used for fast delivery of dynamic image renditions. Those PTIFFs have significant advantages by enabling
Dynamic Media features (single master, dynamic renditions, interactive visualization (zoom)), but they come
at the cost of an up to 3x size increase over the original asset.
If you do not have license for Dynamic Media, please be sure to keep dynamic media disabled to ensure
compliance with your license contract.
NOTE
If you want to use Scene7 in AEM, you should keep Dynamic Media disabled unless you are
using a specific scenario. Dynamic Media is disabled by default.
ENABLING DYNAMIC MEDIA
To enable dynamic media, you need to enable it in CRXDE Lite and also need to start the image server:

In CRXDE Lite, navigate to /etc/dam/dynamicmediaconfig.

Be sure to restart AEM after you set the flag to True to enable dynamic media
features.
