Setting Encoder
Presets
Introduction
Wirecast supports a wide variety of encoders (also known as codecs).
An encoder is a program that compresses the audio and/or video output of Wirecast for
broadcast. Without an encoder, the uncompressed data is too large to successfully
broadcast across a network. This is why encoders are so important.
The settings for encoders range from simple to very complex. Because of this, Wirecast
offers presets of the most common settings for encoders. This provides a starting point,
reduces complexity, and enables you to experiment and adjust settings as you test your
broadcast.
Note: Encoder Presets can also be edited in the Broadcast Settings window. To do this
select Broadcast > Broadcast Settings, choose an Encoder Preset from the drop-down
menu, then click Edit.
