SUMMARY OF OPTIONS

This section lists the different parameters that are available in the various menus.

11.1

The Encoder Settings Tab

Parameter

Options (default in bold)

Notes

Video Source

HDMI1 (Top)

HDMI2 (Bottom)
Component1 (Right)
Component2 (Left)
Composite1 (Right Yellow)
Composite2 (Right Red)

Where to get input for the video. The item in
parentheses indicates the position of the input
port.

Audio Source

Automatic

Analog1 (Top)
Analog2 (Bottom)

“Automatic” will base the audio source on the
video source (video = HDMI -> get from HDMI,
otherwise use Analog1 or Analog2 depending on
which Component/Composite channel is
selected).

Audio Codec

AAC-LC ADTS

None

The codec to use for audio.

Audio Bitrate

18, 24, 56, 96, 128,

192

(Kbps)

The bitrate for the audio.

Video Resolution

320x180 –

1920x1080

The input resolution [

Note 1

].

De-interlace

On /

Off

Causes the de-interlacer to be activated (can also
simply select “De-interlace” for the video
resolution).

Rate Control

VBR

/ CBR

If CBR=1, the encoder will drop frames to
maintain bitrate if difficult content is
encountered.

Video Bit Rate

100 – 12000K (

8000K

)

The target bit rate for the video stream.

Video Profile

High

, Main, Baseline

The H264 profile of the bitstream. Generally High
is used for 1080p, Main for D1, and Baseline for <
D1.

Frame Rate

1 -

60

The target frame rate.  “30” can be used for 30
or 29.997.  If the frame rate is set to 30 and the
input signal is actually 29.997, the Z3-MVE-100
will automatically detect this and use the frame
rate of 29.997.  A similar autodetect occurs for 60
and 59.994.

GOP Size

10 – 240 frames (

60

)

I-frame frequency [

Note 2

].

Video Burst Size

150 – 2000ms (

1000

)

# of ms to buffer. The higher the value, the
smoother the encode, but also the higher the
latency.

Video Codec

H.264

Only H.264 is supported in this release.
