8.3 Encoder Services
Once audio and video profiles have defined, services can be configured. Service configuration links physical
inputs
(SDI
ports) to profiles. Services are defined using the Encoder Service App.
If there is a mismatch between input resolution (e.g. HD) and configured output resolution (e.g. SD) the encoder will try to
convert resolution. When resolution conversion is not possible, alarms will be raised.
Source
Slot
Selects the physical encoder where the service should run.
SDI Type
Selects the port mode. 12G SDI (used for UHD) or 3G SDI (used for FHD/ HD/SD)
or Quad Link used for quad link UHD (2SI or four quadrants).
Connector
Select between available connectors. Only 1A and 2A supports 12G SDI. For Quad
Link UHD, connectors 1ABCD or 2ABCD are combined.
Reference
Clock Mode
Select between Locked To Source (standard operation) or Video Alignment where
all services with the same group ID are aligned in terms of PTS/PCR.
Group ID
Used together with Video Alignment to create multiple aligned groups.
Input
Preview
