8.3 Transcoder Configuration
In the DMG platform, the transcoder module is used to receive services from any of the input
cards and change the codec, bit-rate or resolution of the service which can then be routed to any
of the output modules. When configured, the input video is decoded, rescaled and then re-
encoded.
The transcoder can operate as a 2 channel HD transcoder module or a 4 channel SD
transcoder module depending on options and licenses. The HD and SD transcoders can both
decode HD and SD video. The HD transcoder can encode HD and SD, while the SD
Transcoder can encode SD only. All incoming PIDs that are not transcoded will be kept in sync
with video after transcoding.
The transcoder status and configuration page is accessed by clicking on an encoder module in
Navigation Pane.
The page contains the following information:
