This section provides an example of the design of an output lock workflow that implements distributed encoding.
Note
This example refers to pools. For an explanation of pools, see Output locking pools.
The following example workflow has two output packages: HLS and MS Smooth. Notice how the ABR stacks are divided into several events within each package. This division is driven by the processing demands on the encodes. Notice that when two outputs are on the same appliance, they can share the same output group.
Pay attention to the pools that are implied by this design:
-
There are two event pools for five events. One pool contains events A, B, and C. One event contains events D and E.
-
There are two output group pools. One pool contains the three HLS output groups, shown in yellow. The other contains the two MS Smooth output groups, shown in striped yellow.
-
There are two output pools. One pool contains four HLS outputs, shown in blue. The other contains three MS Smooth outputs, shown in striped blue.
-
There are two encode pools. One pool contains four HLS encodes, shown in red. The other contains three MS Smooth outputs, shown in striped red.
