Presets
Monarch HD comes with predefined resolution presets that you can use to
quickly set your encoding settings. A preset automatically sets all encoding
settings, however, you should verify that the preset frame rate is appropriate for
your encoding. You can also use a preset as a starting point when specifying your
encoding settings. To use a preset:
1 Select the desired preset from the Preset list.
2 Specify the Frame rate setting as detailed in “Frame rate” on page 32.
¦NoteSome presets may not be compatible for use with all CDNs. To avoid
streaming issues, ensure that a preset’s settings, such as video resolution and
video data rate, are supported by your CDN.
Record presets
Monarch HD provides record preset types:
• HQ Used for creating recorded files that will be edited for high-quality
production.
