7.1 Transcoder Settings
Transcoding is the process of converting one digital format to another.
7.1.1 Video Scaling
The video scaling option allows you to determine how videos will be scaled to fit in
a video wall. This option has no effect if the video and the video wall have the same
aspect ratio. Also, this option has no effect on the video slideshow.
Stretch to fit wall
: Scales the video to fill the video wall. If the aspect ratio of the
video wall does not match the aspect ratio of the video content, the video will appear
stretched or distorted.
Touch wall from inside
: Centers the video and adds a black border on the sides
(top and bottom, or left and right). The aspect ratio is maintained.
Touch wall from outside
: Centers the video and fills the video wall. The aspect ratio
is maintained, so the video will be cropped if the aspect ratio of the video wall does
not match the ratio of the video.
7.1.2 Media Compatibility Mode
Faster build
: Copy audio and video streams to an output file without splitting and re-
encoding if the streams are compatible. If the streams are not compatible, VideoWall
Manager will re-encode streams with the same resolution and frame rate as the
source.
