+====Overview====
 In this example we will look at how to create a single MPG4 output from an input file. This guide assumes that you have a working MK Encoding on Demand and have some local or shared files to encode. This guide also assumes you have used MK products before and are at least a little familiar with the Controller interface.
 \\
 \\
+The configuration of the Encoding on Demand server is done in two distinct steps:
+\\
+\\
+. Service Configuration. A service configuration holds all of the video processing settings. So for instance a service called '4_Profile_ABR' would be configured to take take an input and create four Video and an audio for use in ABR output. The output location would be specified along with a manifest. However this service configuration knows nothing about the input.
+\\
+\\
+. Jobs. Once you have created a Service, you can enter that service and create 'Jobs'. So evertime you wanted a 4 Service ABR output, you would add a new job, and define what source file you want to be encoded.

+{{ ::microsoft_edge_28_04_2020_10_59_36.jpg?900 |}}
+\\
+\\
+Click the Services Panel.
+\\
+\\
+The Service page will now be in view.
+\\
+\\
+{{ ::microsoft_edge_28_04_2020_11_00_44.jpg?900 |}}
+\\
+\\
+Select 'Add Service' and then 'On-Demand Encoding'
+\\
+\\
+The On-Demand Settings page will open.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :undefined:microsoft_edge_28_04_2020_11_01_20.jpg?900 |}}
+\\
+\\
+Now edit the following settings:
+\\
+\\
+**Name:**    Put any name you like here, if you leave this empty a name will be generated for you.
+\\
+**Input Stream Selection:**    Ensure you tick all components you require (Video and Audio as a minimum generally)
+\\
+\\
+Now Select the 'Encoding Tab'
+\\
+\\
+For this example we will only have a single video stream.
+\\
+\\
+Click the 'Edit' icon (the Pen) next to the video component.
+\\
+\\
+{{ ::microsoft_edge_28_04_2020_11_01_25.jpg?900 |}}
+\\
+\\
+This will display the Encoding parameters.
+\\
+\\
+{{ ::microsoft_edge_28_04_2020_11_02_16.jpg?600 |}}
+\\
+\\
+Set the parameters as you wish.
+\\
+\\
+Note: The **Quality Preset** has three settings, and they are:
+\\
+\\
+**High Quality** - Gives the best Picture quality.
+\\
+**Fast** - A trade of between Speed and Picture Quality.
+\\
+**Ultra Fast** - Gives the best Speed but compromised Picture Quality.
+\\
+\\
+Click **Apply** to close this page.
+\\
+\\
+You will be returned to the Encoding page, select the next tab along called **Output**.
+\\
+\\
+{{ ::microsoft_edge_28_04_2020_11_02_31.jpg?900 |}}
+\\
+\\
+The output page will open.
+\\
+\\
+{{ ::microsoft_edge_28_04_2020_11_02_41.jpg?900 |}}
+\\
+\\
+Change the output_1 from the default of MPEG2-TS file to MP4 File.
+\\
+\\
+This will cause a pop-up page to open.
+\\
+\\
+{{ ::microsoft_edge_28_04_2020_11_02_51.jpg?600 |}}
+\\
+\\
+Select 'Yes, change it!'
+\\
+\\
+Now you can edit the stream selection.
+\\
+\\
+{{ ::microsoft_edge_28_04_2020_11_03_44.jpg?900 |}}
+\\
+\\
+Enter the following:
+\\
+\\
+**File name** - This will be the name of the file on the output.
+\\
+**Stream** - Tick the streams you want included in this MP4 file (only select one video, this is not an ABR output).
+\\
+\\
+Click **Apply**.
+\\
+\\
+You will be returned to the Controller Service page. Before proceeding ensure that you **select a valid server** (standalone in this case) and Start the service by **clicking the play button**.
+\\
+\\
+**Note the Name** in this example, this is an example of the kind of name you get if you do not specify your own name.
+\\
+\\

+====Creating a Job====
+\\
+\\
+Looking at the Service below:
+\\
+\\
+{{ ::microsoft_edge_28_04_2020_11_03_54.jpg?900 |}}
+\\
+\\
+Click on the **Name** (it is a hyperlink). This will take you to the **Jobs** page.
+\\
+\\
+The Jobs page will open.
+\\
+\\
+{{ ::microsoft_edge_28_04_2020_11_04_12.jpg?900 |}}
+\\
+\\
+Click **Add job...**
+\\
+\\
+The **Job Settings** page will open.
+\\
+\\
+{{ ::microsoft_edge_28_04_2020_11_07_09.jpg?600 |}}
+\\
+\\
+Edit the following settings:
+\\
+\\
+**Id** - I normally leave this blank
+\\
+**Name** - Just a name for the job, not used anywhere else
+\\
+**Priority** - Jobs with higher priority are dealt with first
+\\
+**Input file** - Location and name of the input file
+\\
+**Publishing point** - location of publishing point/folder
+\\
+\\
+Click **Apply**
+\\
+\\
+You will be returned to the Jobs page and will see that the Job State is **encoding**. There are three states, and they are:
+\\
+\\
+Created (Grey)
+\\
+Encoding (Blue)
+\\
+Done (Green)
+\\
+\\
+Click the **Eye icon** on the right hand side.
+\\
+\\
+You will now see a status page.
+\\
+\\
+{{ ::microsoft_edge_28_04_2020_11_07_16.jpg?900 |}}
+\\
+\\
+This page gives all the information you need, the job name, the input/output files, any alarms, how long the job has been running or how long it took to be completed etc.
