Creating an ABR output
Apr 2020
Overview
In this example we will look at how to create an ABR 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:
1. 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.
2. 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.
As this is a video, I suggest you watch it once, then you can watch it again and pause it as you follow along. There is no narration.
