Design the encodes - MediaLive

Design the encodes

In the first step of planning the channel, you identified the video, audio, and captions encodes to include in each output group. In the second step, you organized these encodes into outputs in each output group.

Now in this third step, you must plan the configuration parameters for each encode. As part of this plan, you identify opportunities for sharing encodes among outputs in the same output group in the channel, and among outputs in different output groups in the channel.

Result of this procedure

After you have performed this procedure, you will have a list of video, audio, and captions encodes to create.

Encode nickname

Characteristics of the encode

Source Opportunity Action
VideoA

AVC 1920x1080, 5 Mbps

HEVC Create this encode from scratch.
VideoB

AVC 1280x720, 3 Mbps

HEVC Clone Clone VideoA and change the bitrate. Perhaps also other fields.
VideoC AVC 320x240, 750 Kbps HEVC Clone Clone VideoA and change the bitrate and perhaps other fields.
AudioA AAC 2.0 in English at 192000 bps AAC 2.0 Create this encode from scratch.
AudioB AAC 2.0 in French at 192000 bps AAC 2.0 Clone Clone AudioA and change the audio selector (the reference to the source) to the selector for French. Perhaps also change other fields.
CaptionsA

WebVTT (object-style) converted from embedded, in English

Embedded Create this encode from scratch.
CaptionsB WebVTT (object-style) converted from embedded, in French Embedded Clone Clone CaptionsC and change the captions selector (the reference to the source) to the selector for French. Perhaps also change other fields.
VideoD AVC 1920x1080, 5Mbps HEVC Share Share VideoA
AudioC Dolby Digital 5.1 in Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1 Create this encode from scratch.
CaptionsC RTMP CaptionInfo (converted from embedded) in Spanish Embedded Clone Clone CaptionsA and change the captions selector (the reference to the source) to the selector for Spanish. Perhaps also change other fields.
VideoE AVC, 1920x1080, 5 Mbps HEVC Share Share VideoA
AudioD Dolby Digital 2.0 in Spanish AAC 2.0 Create this encode from scratach. Although its source is the same as Aa, its output codec is different, which means all its configuration fields are different. Therefore, there is no advantage to cloning.
AudioE Dolby Digital 2.0 in French AAC 2.0 Clone Clone AudioD and change the audio selector (the reference to the source) to the selector for French. Perhaps also change other fields.

Don't clone AuduioB because AudioB and AudioA have different output codecs. Therefore, there is no advantage to cloning.

AudioF Dolby Digital 2.0 in English AAC 2.0 Clone Clone AuduioD and change the audio selector (the reference to the source) to the selector for English. Perhaps also change other fields.

Don't clone AudioB because AudioB and AudioF have different output codecs. Therefore, there is no advantage to cloning.

CaptionsD DVB-Sub (object-style) converted from Teletext, in 6 languages. Teletext Create this encode from scratch.
