Makito X4 Encoder

Setting Up ST 2110 Inputs

From the Input Essence Detail View, you can create and configure ST 2110 media essence inputs. For each input, you need to select the Media Type – either video, audio or ancillary data – as well as the Input number (1...4). The encoder supports running four (4) inputs of each Media Type at the same time. 

To configure Input parameters:

  1. From the Inputs List View, click the Settings icon AR_settings.png on an existing input, or click the Add Input button to add an input.
    The Input Essence Detail View opens. By default, the Media Type is Video.

  6. Video Essences: Select the Video Format.

  7. Audio Essences: Enter the Number of Channels and select the Packet Time.

  8. Click Add Input to apply your changes and start the input.
