Presets

nablet Support Team
  • Updated

Presets are detailed configurations of MediaEngine to process the source video. It includes audio and video codecs and their attributes, container settings, and conversion parameters.

Any preset is a text document with a specific structure where each section has a header in square brackets. This article covers possible configurations for each of the elements. Your presets might miss some of the attributes. It is OK since MediaEngine uses a default set of settings in such cases.

The following sections of a preset are mandatory:

  • [VideoEncoderSettings] - defines video encoding parameters and a type of video encoder
  • [AudioEncoderSettings] - defines audio encoding parameters and a type of audio encoder
  • [OutputSettings] - defines the output format configurations
  • [MuxerSettings] - defines parameters of an encoding container

Each preset might contain multiple instances of container, video, and audio codec configurations. With this, you can encode a single source to multiple destinations at the same time.

An example configuration can be found in the attachment to this article.

A snippet of the configuration looks like this:

[AVCEncoderSettings]
VideoCodecID=3
NumThread=0
Preset=1
TuningInfo=0
CodecProfile=0
CodecLevel=0
TargetKbps=12000
MaxKbps=12000
GopPicSize=60
