In order to transcode an input stream from the Inputs screen you must first configure the transcoding profiles in the Transcoder screen. For more information, see Transcoder section below.
To Transcode an Input Stream:
- In the Zixi Broadcaster Inputs page, click the desired incoming stream that you want to transcode.
- Click
button on the right end of the selected row and then Transcode. The Transcode <input stream name> window with the settings of the selected input stream is displayed.
- Enter the unique Stream I.D., which will correspond to the new transcoded input that will be added.
- Under Stream Parameters, select one of the desired following options in Video Profile and the desired Audio Profile. If you have not configured a video or audio profile you can select Keep original stream. In this case the video or audio input will not be transcoded. :
- Keep original stream – the stream will not be modified.
- Remove stream – the output will not include the video channel (audio only).
- Custom profile – select one of the custom profiles that have been configured in the transcoder.
- Under Stream Parameters, select one of the following options in Audio Profile:
- Keep original stream – the stream will not be modified.
- Remove stream – the output will not include the audio channel (video only).
- Custom profile – select one of the custom profiles that have been configured in the transcoder.
- If you want to enable hardware acceleration, select the Use hardware acceleration checkbox.
- If you want to ensure all PIDs (process IDs) are passed on through the transcoder, select the Pass all PIDs checkbox.
- In the Smoothing buffer field, enter the buffering time in milliseconds. The buffering helps smoothen the stream, however it will delay its transfer by the duration that is specified in this field. Default: 1500 ms.
- Click OK. The transcoded input stream is created and appears in an embedded window labeled Transcoded sources under the original input stream from which it was created.
