Introduction

Video/Audio Rates

Use the Video/Audio Configuration pages to define the video and audio sources. You can
also use the pre-configured templates to control a single video or a single audio rate.
Templates are part of the rate configuration for each audio or video source. The
Load
button launches a pop-up window showing the available templates with
Template
preconfigured values. See Encoder Configuration for more information.

Programs

Each program corresponds to one and . For example if you have two video
Video Audio Input
and audio inputs (i.e. two "channels"), you can configure two programs. Each stream you
subsequently configure must be associated with a program. See Programs for more
information.

Streams

There are 16 available for configuration. A "stream" is a bundled group of resources
Streams
that describes the characteristics of the video and audio. A stream specifies the ,
Program
, , and and can be transmitted, served, encrypted, or
Video Rate Audio Rate Transport Type
archived. Once a stream is defined, it can be used by any combination of transmitters,
servers, and archivers. With most "transport types" there is no automatic rate selection: each
transmitter and server must be configured with a specific stream and rate. With "smooth
streaming," multiple video rates are delivered in one stream and IIS determines which rate to
serve. See Streams more for information.

Transmitters

There are 25 available for configuration. Each references a that can be
Transmitters Stream
pushed and each is selectable as unicast or multicast (RTP and transport streams only). The
configuration parameters are divided into a common section (on the Encoder Configuration
> Global page) and another section (on the Encoder Configuration > Transmitters page)
which configures each individual destination. See Transmitters more for information.
