3. Encoders
3.1 INTRODUCTION
Encoders are physical devices which allow the digitization of incoming audio/video
feeds into multiple file formats. Most of the models are configured to encode lo-
res or hi-res feed. They can be logically grouped to associate physical encoders
handling the same feed, either in hi-res or in lo-res. So, editing operations can be
quickly performed on lo-res media and then reflected to the corresponding hi-res
media for further news production and playout.
The XEDIO I/O encoder model is able to encode both lo-res and hi-res at the same
time.
Five items are available in the Encoders category. They are detailed in the table
below.
Item Description
Physical Manager Defines hardware setup and encoding parameters for
each physical encoder.
Logical Manager Defines the logical encoders, i.e. the combination of
physical encoders to form a single logical encoder. For
example, a hi-res encoder and a lo-res encoder receiving
the same feed can be controlled as one single logical
encoder.
Group Manager Allows to create groups of logical encoders that make
logical channels visible from specific workstations.
