Dual Encoder:
1. Select Configure Encoder from the WMV Encoder menu. The Configure Live WMV Service page
opens (FIG. 71).
2. In the Service Name text box, enter the name of the service as you want it to appear in the left pane of the
main window.
3. Click Apply.
4. Select the type of encoder you want to configure from the Encoder Type options menu.
5. Click Apply.
6. Use the Encoder Input options menu to indicate whether you are connecting to the S-video, component,
or composite port on the encoder.
7. Use the Encoder Format options menu to indicate which video standard the encoder is using.
8. Use the Encoder Profile options menu to select a profile containing the appropriate pre-configured
encoder settings.
9. Click Apply. Clicking Apply saves your configuration.
10. Check the Encoder Enable check box to start the encoder and unicast the video stream at the selected
settings. You can view the encoded stream by clicking View Unicast Stream in the main menu (
FIG. 75).
Service Settings Options
Service Name The name of the service as it appears in the left pane of the main window.
Encoder Type Use the options menu to select the type of WMV encoder you want to
configure. Click Apply if selecting a new encoder type.
Encoder Select the Enable check box to Start or uncheck to Stop the encoder.
Encoder Number Selects the Capture card and Encoder (Encoder 1 or Encoder 2).
Encoder Input Selects the input port on the capture card (Component, Composite, or
S-Video).
S-Video: The video signal is divided into luminance and chrominance. Results
in good-quality video.
Composite video: Composite video should only be used as a source as a last
resort. With composite video, luminance and chrominance components are
mixed, which makes it difficult to get good-quality video.
Encoder Format Selects the required Video Standard (PAL or NTSC).
Encoder Profile This enables the selection of pre-configured encoder profiles at Preset Bit
rates. A profile is a collection of properties tailored to the type of content being
encoded, the audience, and the intended distribution (file or broadcast). The
properties stored in a profile include: the audio and video quality, connection
speed for the intended audience, available bandwidth, and appropriate codecs.
The use of profiles simplifies the process of setting up an encoding session.
