Assigning Transcode Settings to Devices
There are two methods you can use to assign transcode settings to a device: using Device
Setup Assistant in Final Cut Server System Preferences, or using the Transcode Settings
window.
You can use either method; however, the most efficient method to use depends on what
you are trying to do:
• If you want to add multiple transcode settings to a single device, it is faster to edit the
device using Device Setup Assistant. Device Setup Assistant contains a full list of all
transcode settings with checkboxes next to each. See the Final Cut Server Setup Guide
for more information.
Note: Contentbase devices cannot be modified using Device Setup Assistant.
• If you want to add a single transcode setting to multiple devices, it is faster to use the
Transcode Settings pane of the client’s Administration window using the method
described next.
