Configuration method

Select a row on the [Output] tab of the [System Settings] screen and configure each item in the [Output Settings] pane. When finished configuring items, press the [Apply] button to apply the settings.

Setup items

• [Display Name]: Enter an arbitrary name.
• [A/V Source:]: Select the output source.
  When [PGM] is selected, program output is output as-is.

  The output destination with [ID] of 1 is set to [PGM] (fixed).
• [Streaming Type]: Select a protocol supported by the output destination. When [SRT] is selected, select whether to use this service in [Caller] mode or [Listener] mode.
• [Video Format]: Select the video format from the list. When creating an event, the selection options will vary depending on the [Event Region] setting.

  Note

  • Interlaced can only be selected for the output destination for which [A/V Source] is set to [PGM]. However, Interlaced cannot be selected on both of the two output destinations.
• [Video Bitrate (kbps)]: Set the video bit rate in the range 3000 to 25000.
• [Buffer (msec)]: Set the buffer size in the range 0 to 10000. Displayed only when [Streaming Type] is [SRT].

  Note

  • For SRT, buffering is referred to as latency. Setting the latency to 0 msec is not recommended. Set a value according to the SRT standard.
    For details, refer to the official SRT documentation.

• [Audio Freq. (Hz)]: Select 44100 or 48000 for the audio frequency.

    • Auto highlight creation is available only when using Professional ID. When using a Sony account, [Auto Highlight] is not displayed.
    • To configure [Analysis Rule], you must log in to A2 Production and agree to the terms of use and privacy policy.

Select the row for the assignment you want to cancel on the [Output] tab of the [System Settings] screen, and delete the [Streaming Type] setting so that it is blank. [Streaming Type] can be modified only when the event status is “Stopped.”
