IncodeX One Point-to-Point
Broadcasting Solution
Additionally, the IncodeX One interface provides you with the ability to choose whether or not the IncodeX One automati-
cally starts encoding on power up and reboot. Just click the stop or restart encoder button and then click the “Save User”
button to save a user profile with the encoder in a stopped or active state. As long as your user profile remains loaded,
the IncodeX One will power on/reboot in your state of choice.
SPECIFYING VIDEO/AUDIO INPUT AND BIT RATE SETTINGS
The IncodeX One will accept either composite video with analog audio or HD/SD digital video with embedded or analog
audio. Along with connecting your video/audio sources to the correct inputs on the IncodeX One’s back panel, you will
also need to tell the IncodeX One which back panel input(s) to use during encoding as follows (see Illustration 2 on page
6 and Illustration 4):
1.
In the “Encoder Setup” section of the IncodeX One’s main
interface window, select your video settings as follows:
• Specify the video input you will use for encoding by choos-
ing either “Composite” or “SDI” from the “Video Source” drop
down menu.
• Choose a video bit rate for encoding with the “Video Bit Rate”
slider.
2.
In the “Encoder Setup” section of the IncodeX One’s main inter-
face window, select your audio settings as follows:
• Specify your audio encode source as follows:
►
If your setup uses the composite video input, the audio
selection cannot be changed from “Analog Jacks.”
►
If you are choosing to encode a source connected to the HD/SD-SDI video input, you may select “Analog Jacks”
to encode analog audio along with it or if there is audio embedded in your digital video signal, select the corre-
sponding embedded two-channel audio pair.
• Choose an audio bit rate for encoding from the “Audio Bit Rate” drop down box.
3.
Apply your changes to the IncodeX One’s outgoing video stream by clicking the “Restart Encoder” button.
4.
If you wish to save the change(s) in your user profile, click the “Save User” button.
ADJUSTING VIDEO/AUDIO STREAM QUALITY WITH ADVANCED ENCODING CONTROLS
Throughout this section, refer to Illustration 2 on page 6 and Illustration 5. After you have made your changes, ap-
ply your new settings to the outgoing video stream by clicking the “Restart Encoder” button. If you like the result of the
changes, click the “Save User” button to add them to your user profile.
• “Rate Control”
Further control the IncodeX One’s data encoding bit rate with the “Rate Control” selector. The size and overall quality
of your video stream is directly related to the bit rates the IncodeX One uses for encoding as well as how much band-
width will be required to deliver the stream to your viewers. Choose from constant bit rate (“CBR”) or variable bit rate
(“VBR”) as described below:
► “
CBR” (Constant Bit Rate) Encoding
The IncodeX One’s default bit rate control is “CBR” or constant bit rate encoding, meaning the IncodeX One en-
codes all of your data at the rates specified on the interface’s “Encoder Setup” panel. CBR allows you to directly
