Configuring an Encoder with SDI Input and IP or ASI Output
Configuring the Video

Next, configure the video encoding properties. Right-click the video stream as shown in
to open the properties page. In this page you set all of the encoding and
preprocessing for the video stream.
The video properties page includes multiple panels with settings for all aspects of the
encoding process. Depending on your selections, panels are added or removed. For this
example, we will only look at the main panel. The values here are set by default. To process
the incoming video, you might need to change some of these settings.
The most important settings to consider are in the Encoding section. The input settings must
match the actual video input carried on the SDI port. Set the desired output properties for
Coding Format, Resolution, Bitrate, and so on. For specific information about these fields, see
the online help for this configuration page.
Harmonic also recommends that you provide descriptive names for your streams and
programs. By default, the encoder names your stream Video 1. You can provide a descriptive
name on this page.
