Source Tab

Parameters

The Parameters section gives you a brief summary of your source file’s settings.
When you add a file to the Source List, ProCoder automatically reads the file
properties, analyzes its parameters and makes the appropriate adjustments to read
the Source correctly before it is encoded.

For example, if you add an interlaced source file to the Source List, the Parameters
section tells you if the Bottom Field or the Top Field appears first in the Interlacing
field. While ProCoder does its best to make the correct assessment, it may incorrectly
identify which field is first. If this happens, you can use the Interlacing drop-down
menu to override ProCoder and choose the correct setting. You can also override
ProCoder’s automatic deinterlacing by applying the Adaptive Deinterlace filter to your
source video and modifying its parameters in the Advanced window.
The following parameters generally apply to all file types. Depending on your source
file type, other parameters may appear in these sections. Consult the Reference
section of this manual for information on more format-specific parameters. For more
information on the Advanced window, see the Advanced window section later in this
chapter.
