Ingesting media by using an Encode Server
The Encode control panel
To prepare and start a crash or automatic recording, you use the Encode control panel that is
connected to the Encode Server you are going to use for the recording:
For a crash recording, you just need to enter a file name and a duration and then click Record.
For an automatic recording, you select Auto-Record. The In and Out boxes then become active,
allowing you to set the timecode values at which you want the Encode Server to start and stop
recording.
Once a recording starts, you can stop it at any time.
The recording control button changes its function depending on the current stage of the
recording process. The button label describes the function: Prepare, Record or Stop.
