Windows Media Encoder Video -- Slot1

Video Format

The format can be configured as NTSC (30 fps) or PAL (25 fps).

 

 

Video Aspect Ratio

The WM appliance will offer different choices for resolutions and

 

frame rates depending on the selected Video Aspect Ratio. Aspect

 

ratio is the ratio of the width of the image to the height of the image.

 

Standard TV images generally use an aspect ratio of 4:3; DVD players

 

and some camera can produce 16:9. Set this value to match the video

 

input source, either 4:3 or 16:9. Use Zoom to 16:9 to have standard 4:3

 

cameras produce streaming video that fits on 16:9 monitors. Zoom to

 

16:9 is selectable for NTSC only at resolutions of 640x360 and

 

640x180. When using multiple bit rates,

 

• if Video Rate1 is 640x480 then Video Rate2 and Video Rate3 must

 

be 320x240.

 

• If Video Rate1 is 320x480 then Video Rate2 and Video Rate3

 

cannot be encoded.

 

• If Video Rate1 is 640x360 then Video Rate2 and Video Rate3 must

 

be 320x180.

 

 

Video Input Type

The input can be changed to accept either Composite or S-Video

 

(SVID).
