Ingesting media by using an Encode Server
Lock or unlock an Encode Server
For crash recordings and single automatic recordings, iTX locks an Encode Server just before the
start of a recording. Instead of waiting for this to happen, you may manually lock the Encode
Server to ensure it is available to you for a recording session; to do so, you use the lock button
for that Encode Server. More details , page 243.
1. To lock an Encode Server for one recording only, click the lock button so that it turns
yellow.
2. To lock an Encode Server permanently, click the lock button so that it turns green.
3. To unlock an Encode Server, click the lock button so that it displays the unlocked symbol.
Note:
• You must not lock the Encode Server for a batch recording – the Encode Server itself
applies the lock before it starts processing the recording jobs.
Set options for new media files and their assets
You need to do this for each recording channel before starting recordings in the channel:
1.
Click Settings to display the Encode Settings dialog.
2. Set recording options in the dialog. More details , page 244.
3. Click OK to close the dialog.
