Use the <UP> and <DOWN> buttons to move the select arrow to point to the encoder profile you
want the Cisco Digital Media Encoder 2000 to use for this encoding session.
Once you select the encoder profile you need, press the <STREAM> button again to start the
encoder.
The Cisco Digital Media Encoder 2000 LCD readout then displays messages about the encoder
start process.
After the encoder session has successfully begun, the Cisco Digital Media Encoder 2000 LCD
readout returns to the previous display of available encoders. The screen will indicate that the
encoder profile you selected has begun encoding.
If the encoder you started was assigned to one of the EZStream ABC buttons, the corresponding
button flashes and steady illuminates during and after the starting process.
By repeating this method, you can quickly start multiple encoders at the same time.
The Cisco Digital Media Encoder 2000 is a two-channel encoder, which means you can connect and
stream up to two audio and video sources at any given time. However, you can stream the same
audio and video at multiple data rates and multiple formats to provide the best user experience for
different viewing audiences.
For example, you can stream Windows Media at full resolution at 1 Mbps and the same time stream
RealVideo at CIF resolution at 300kbps.
WARNING: There are limitations to the number of streams you can capture simultaneously. If you
attempt to capture more streams than the Cisco Digital Media Encoder 2000 is capable of processing
simultaneously, the streams will drop frames and the video will appear to stutter resulting in a poor
viewer experience. If the number of sessions is not reduced in order to reduce CPU load, all
encoding sessions could self-terminate without warning.
