Niagara SCX Web Interface
If you select Custom from the drop-down menu, two additional fields will appear al lowing you to type
in the exact size you want the resulting video to be.
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 is only available in AVI and Flash 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. As previously stated, these settings will vary according to the encoder
type.

SimulStream and DirectShow Filters
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-based ” method, no requirements
are necessary for a particular startup order to associate settings with instantiations.
