Configuring Audio Encoders

From the Audio Encoders tab, you can configure up to 32 independent audio encoders to apply to streams. You can start, stop, mute, and unmute each audio encoder, as well as display settings and statistics for the encoder.

Note

It is recommended not to exceed 100 channels when configuring multiple audio encoders. Encoding more than 100 audio channels may compromise system performance. 

Note

On systems licensed for SMPTE ST 2110 input with the Personality set to ST 2110, the available inputs for audio encoders are ST 2110 essences. For more information, see Configuring ST 2110 Inputs.

1. On the Streaming page, click Audio Encoders on the sidebar. 
   The Audio Encoders List View opens.
   
   The Audio Encoders List View displays the Status, Name, Input, Channel Mode, Language, and Bitrate for each audio encoder.
2. From here, you can perform the following tasks:
   
   • To view details or modify the audio settings for an encoder, click the Settings icon 

     

      in the audio encoder panel to open the Audio Encoder Detail View. See Configuring Audio Encoder Settings and Audio Encoder Settings.

   • Change the Audio Encoders sort order by clicking the Sort dropdown menu.

     

     Tip

     To expand or collapse the statistics or settings details for all audio encoders at one time, hold the shift key and click the Statistics icon

     

     or Settings icon
