Encoder Preset (A, B, and C)
Note If you specify a video size that is not compatible wi th the color space of your source video, the encoder
will automatically correct the size to the closest compatible setting when you click the Submit button.
The color space format setting, entitled Format, is available only in AVI and MPEG-4 Encoder
Properties and appears as an additional field under the Size setting (see below).
Now that you have completed all of the Video and Audio settings, you can proceed to the encoder type
settings at the bottom of the page.
Streaming Properties
As previously stated, these settings will vary according to the encoder type. Please refer to each encoder
properties page setting in this document for further explanation and detail on the Streaming Properties
Settings and Advanced Streaming Settings sections of each encoder.
Advanced Streaming Settings
This section includes the following topics:
• SimulStream, page 2-29

SimulStream

SimulStream employs filters to change the appearance of an image or part of an image by altering the
shades and colors of the pixels in some manner. Filters are used to increase brightness and contrast as
well as to add a wide variety of textures, tones and special effects to a picture. SimulStream filters have
two interrelated purposes, as follows:
• They allow applications to enumerate and list video capture and preview pins or streams (each with
different settings) as named entries in their video device select lists. The v ideo device driver can be
configured to show multiple filters per device. Each filter has one preview pin and one capture pin.
Standard applications have the capability to access a particular filter without any custom
programming specialized for Osprey devices.
• Each filter has independent settings for cropping, default output size, watermar ks, and captions that
can be stored between sessions. Compared with the previous “pin-bas ed” method, no requirements
are necessary for a particular startup order to associate settings with instantiations.
