AUDIO PANEL
Codec and Format
Because some of the audio codecs have multiple formats, the Audio panel has
options for both the codec and the format. Use the Codec list to select the
audio codec. If the codec has multiple formats, use the Format list to select the
amount or type of compression.The format of a codec is the sampling rate (in
kilohertz [KHz] or hertz [Hz]) and sample depth (in bits). The larger the
sampling rate and sample depth, the more information is recorded. When
more information is recorded, the audio content usually sounds better;
however, the audio portion of the total bandwidth allocated also is larger.
Remember that the audio file must share the bandwidth with any video or
script commands.
Advanced
Click the Advanced button to select the audio loss concealment setting.
Audio Loss Concealment
Audio Loss Concealment blends the audio so that if information is lost during
transmission, there is no audible gap. There are two options that provide
different types of concealment. If the audio track has a low dynamic range,
such as when someone is speaking, select Voice by clicking on the radio button
to the left of this option. If the audio track has a large dynamic range, such as
when a band is playing, select Music by clicking on the radio button to the left
of this option.
VIDEO PANEL
Use Video
Place a check in the Use Video checkbox to use video in your template.
Codec
Choose a video codec from the Codec list. Be sure to select a codec that can
share the bandwidth with the audio codec you have selected.
