The events that are locked together are in a pool of locked events. The outputs in these events are part of a pool of locked outputs. The encodes in the locked outputs are part of a pool of locked encodes.
If you have a workflow with several types of output groups, it's important to keep track of the pools. If you don't keep track of the pools, you might break the rules for output locking.
The following diagram illustrates the event setup to produce an HLS ABR stack (with four renditions), and a Microsoft Smooth Streaming ABR stack (with three renditions), all from the same source. The following pools exist:
-
Events A, B, and C are one pool of locked events for the HLS ABR stack.
-
Events D and E are another pool for the Microsoft Smooth Streaming ABR stack.
-
Outputs A1, B1, C1, and C2 are one pool of locked outputs.
-
Outputs D1, E1, and E2 are another pool of locked outputs.
-
The four streams in the HLS events are a pool of locked encodes.
-
The three streams in the Microsoft Smooth Streaming events are another pool of locked encodes.
