Ingesting media by using an Encode Server
Encode profiles
You can save a set of encode settings, together with the selected clip template, as an encode
profile that you can recall and use repeatedly. The dialog displays a list of saved profiles in the
Encode Profiles pane.
Note:
• You should ensure the Encode Server is running on a machine that is powerful enough to
handle recordings at the specified bit rates.
• The Encode Server automatically detects the display resolution of the digital video source.
