Using Preset ABC buttons to start an encoder
group
Use the Preset ABC buttons on the front panel to start the assigned encoder group.
To use preset buttons to start encoding:
1.
Press the
A , B , or C button on the front panel.
2.
Press
Stream to start encoding. The indicator light next to the preset button displays to
indicate a positive video stream and the audio meters display to indicate positive audio
tracking.
WARNING! Limitations exist for the number of streams you can encode simultaneously. If
you attempt to encode more streams than the Niagara 4100 can process
simultaneously, the streams drop frames and the video stutters. This results in a poor
viewer experience. If you fail to reduce the number of sessions to reduce CPU load,
unexpected system behavior could occur.
