Encoder Basic Configuration Tab
The Encoder Basic Configuration Tab, shown below, is divided into three general areas:
•
General Configuration: generic configuration parameters.
•
Video Configuration: parameters related to video encoding.
•
Audio Configuration: parameters related to audio encoding.
Note that the basic configuration tab may look different from what is depicted below, as the
parameters may change (or appear/disappear in the GUI) based on the device’s configuration and
the parameter choices made.
Basic Tab – General Configuration
•
Name: All 9223 encoders and outputs can be assigned a user-defined name. This name
is used to identify the encoder later when making connections. Use any descriptive name
suitable for your application, or accept the default.
•
Encoder State: This control allows you to start/stop an encoder. This control needs to be
set to Running for normal operation.
•
Input Connection: This control selects which of the two rear I/O panel inputs is to be
connected to this encoder. The 9223 can run both encoders from the same input. The
default is to run Encoder 1 from Video/Audio 1 and Encoder 2 from Video/Audio 2, but
all combinations are allowed. Note that the parameters presented in the Video
Configuration section may change if this selection changes (for example, if you switch
the encoder from a Composite input to an SDI input).
