Encoder

The Encoder allows for files to be converted from common video codecs into the AiM codec in preparation for use on a live production.

Encode Element

When a piece of media is loaded into the Encoder, several details about the file can be viewed:

• The length of of the encoded media.
• The video codec, sub-codec, resolution and frame rate of the encoded media.
• The audio codec, bit depth, sample rate and channels of the encoded media.
• The destination folder of the encoded media.
• The current status of the job - Ready, In Progress or Done.

Opening the Sub Menu on individual elements allows access to the following actions:

Item	Description
Collapse/Expand	to collapse or expand the element details.
Hide Source/Show Source	to hide or show the details of the source media file and help compare changes made in the Encode Options.
Rename	to set the file's tag name, to be used as the destination file name.
Remove	to open Encode Options relative to this element.
Settings	to collapse or expand the element details.
Duplicate	to create a copy of the element, ready for encoding.
Show In Folder	to open the location of the encoded media that has been set in the Output Folder setting.

The order in which the elements are arranged will be the order of the encoding queue this can be changed by dragging and dropping the element to another position in the queue.

At the bottom of the Encoder queue a readout shows the completion percentage of the total jobs.
Next to this are the Play / Pause and Stop buttons which control the encoding process.
