Press Stream .

The video encoding status blue light displays (V) to indicate a positive video
stream and the audio meters display to indicate positive audio tracking.
WARNING! Limitations exist for the number of stre ams you can encode
simultaneously. If you attempt to encode more streams than the Niagara 2120 can process
simultaneously, the streams drop frames and the video stutters. This results in a poor
viewer experience. If you fail to reduce the number of sessions to reduce CPU load, all
encoding sessions may self-terminate without warning.
Stopping Encoding To stop the active encoding group, press the Stop button on the front panel. The Niagara 2120
browser displays the list of encoders and shows the status of each session.
