For example, take a scenario where you want to record a video at 1080p and 8 Mbps, while simultaneously
live stream the same video online 720p and 1 Mbps. You can create your custom layouts and do all your
switching in one channel (i.e. Channel 1) and then configure Channel 2 to use Channel 1 as a source. That way,
both channel's have the identical program. All you need to do now is configure each channel for the encoding
settings you want.
Follow these steps:
1. Login to the Admin panel as admin, see Connect to the Admin panel.
2. Create Channel 1 with your video and audio inputs. Add all your live switching layouts.
3. Set the encoding and streaming settings for channel 1.
4. Create Channel 2 for your recording with just one layout and add Channel 1 as the video source.
