When you set up an encoding session, you must choose the devices that you want to use for encoding. You can use audio devices, video devices, or screen captures. After choosing devices, you can set their properties directly from the encoder. The properties for some of your devices, such as audio and video cards, are global and apply not only to all source groups in your encoding session but to all applications on your computer. (For example, brightness, contrast, capture dimensions, and audio mixer settings.) Screen capture properties apply only to individual source groups and can be different for each source group that is included in your encoding configuration.
You can configure audio and video device properties using the New Session Wizard, the Session Properties dialog box, or the Configure Devices option on the Tools menu. Screen capture properties are not available from the Configure Devices option on the Tools menu.
Note The devices must already be installed on your computer. You cannot use the encoder to add or remove hardware; use Control Panel instead.
