About the Control panel

The Control panel is where you start and stop encoding and manually control the archive during a broadcast. It contains several indicators that provide the status of the encoding session.

The Error Indicator Encoding error indicator button is displayed when an error occurs during an encoding session. Click this button to display the error log. When you start the encoder again, the Error Indicator button does not appear.

The status line status line changes color based on the encoding status. The status line is gray when the encoder is idle. It changes to green during a broadcast, to yellow when the encoder is starting or stopping, to black when the encoder is running, and to red when an error occurs.

The progress meter progress meter shows the progress of a file conversion or indexing process.
