An Encoding Profile has the information for the encoder about the number of renditions that will be created for a video and audio file in multiple formats such as mp4 (480p, 360p, 240p), HLS, Smooth Streaming, mp3 (128p, 256p), etc. VIDIZMO allows you to define encoding profiles against any transcoder of your choice. These are primarily the output format profiles for any media file.

To learn more about Encoding Profiles, see Understanding Encoding in VIDIZMO.


VIDIZMO allows you to add and manage Encoding Profiles in your Portal to suit your organizational requirements. To learn more about it, see: How to Add an Encoding Profile.

Below are the steps to manage Encoding Profiles in your Portal.


Steps

Administrators and Managers are allowed to manage Encoding Profiles in a Portal, which includes the following:


Enable/Disable Encoding Profiles


1. From the Portal's Homepage

i. Click on the navigation menu on the top left of your screen.

ii. Expand Admin tab.

iii Click on Control Panel.





2. From the Manage Portal navigation pane in Control Panel:

i. Expand Encoding tab

ii. Select Encoding Profiles

iii. Enable the toggle button on the right of an Encoding Profile to activate it for use.

iv. Disable the toggle button on the right of an Encoding Profile to deactivate it for use.



Add an Encoding Profile


Edit an Added Encoding Profile


You can edit added Encoding Profiles. To learn more about how to add an Encoding Profile, see: How to Add an Encoding Profile.


1. From the Manage Portal navigation pane in Control Panel:

i. Expand Encoding tab.

ii. Select Encoding Profiles.

iii. Navigate to the added Encoding Profiles from the available list of Profiles and click on the overflow menu beside it.

iv. Select Edit from the options.



2. From the Edit Encoding Profile pop-up screen:

i. Edit the Title of the Encoding Profile that is being configured

ii. Here, you will define the Encoding Profile with the format tags that allow you to edit different parameters of the Encoding Profile such as size, bitrates, video_codec, audio_codec, audio_bitrate. 

iii. Choose the Content Type that you wish to encode using this Profile. The options include All, Video, Audio, Image, Document, Caption, Form, Misc, SCORM.

iv. You can modify the Size of the content i.e. width x height.

v. You can modify the Bit Rate that the content should have after encoding.

vi. You can modify the format of the Output after encoding content.

vii. You can modify the option Set to Default to set/unset this Encoding Profile as default, for handling the most common use-cases.

viii. Click the Save button.


A notification will appear briefly stating: Encoding Profile has been Updated Successfully.

Enabling GPU Encoding Profile


To enable GPU encoding profiles in VIDIZMO, go to VIDIZMO app > navigation menu > control panel > encoding > encoding profiles > turn on CUDA encoding profiles. 



Note: GPU encoding requires up to date drivers of your GPU hardware. Such as GeForce RTX 3090 with GeForce Studio or GameReady drivers, and CUDA toolkit 11.3.
