Chapter 2 Getting to Know the Cisco Digital Media Encoder 2200
Encoder Preset (A, B, and C)
Please see the Enable SimulStream dialog box below.
The checkbox next to Enable SimulStream at the top of the dialog box, when checked, ena bles
SimulStream to run for the currently selected encoder.
The encoder includes a full SimulStream license installed for each A/V channel, and this checkbox
controls full SimulStreaming.
Note When you change the Enable SimulStream status and click Submit, you must restart the appliance. If
you do not, SimulStream may become partially active, but the capture devices may be incorrectly named,
and their pins may be incorrect.
Show filters per device
With the Show filters per device control, you can set the device driver to expose multiple filters per
device for enumeration and selection by encoders. If, for example, 5 filters per device are chosen, device
lists in applications will show four entries for the currently chosen device. For device 1, they are
designated as 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5.
Note The number of filters you request will not display or work correctly until the system is restarted.
Note While it is possible to expose and enumerate multiple filters per device, the practical number of working
filters will be less. The practical number of filters depends on the capability of the appliance, the types
of filtering enabled, the types of scaling and color format conversions requested per encoder, and the
type of processing employed. If the appliance has multiple capture channels, the number of filters is the
total across all channels. In addition, some types of processing, such as deinterlacing and gamma
corrections, which are performed once per channel may, in this case, occur multiple times. In summary,
