WM Configuration

Configuration: Encoder

Configuration: Encoder > Template

Seven selectable templates have been preconfigured for many common applications. There are always trade-offs when selecting encoder settings. In general, finer resolution detail and smoother motion will require more resources and more network bandwidth. The optimum is to display the finest detail and smoothest motion possible given the network resources available to both the WM Appliance sender and to the viewer who is receiving the WM Appliance video streams. The Cable/DSL 128K High Motion template is the default template for the WM Appliance. The appliance is configured and shipped with this template installed and the values you initially see in IWS are those defined by this template. The templates are briefly described in Table 8 below; they are described in detail in WM Templates on

page 131.

Templates apply to Video and Audio settings only. If, after applying a template, you override any audio or video settings, the note Parameters do not match template will be displayed on the Template page. A change on the template page also causes an interruption in the video and audio output of all video and audio encoders and all transmissions including multicast, HTTP, RTSPU, and Push. If an archive is in process, a template change causes the current archive to be closed.

Note You cannot select and use a template when configuring multiple bit rate streams. In order to select a template, Video Rate2, Video Rate3, and Audio Rate2, Audio Rate3 must be disabled on the Configuration: Encoder > Video and Audio pages.
