Adding Video & Audio Sources to an Encoder
Only one video and one audio source can be added to each encoder. Whichever way used to add an encoder, the same window pops up. By the help of this window a video and audio source can be added.
Adding Video Source
Encoder Name can be written to the left side at the buttom. After that by clicking 
button a video source window pops up it is shown below.
...
After adding any video source, all source information and parameters can be examined in “Source Parameter” tab. These information types and values vary according to selected video source . As an example The "Source Parameter" tab at the image is for "File Source".
Adding Audio Source
By clicking 
button, an audio source can be added. It’s almost the same process with adding a video source.
...
Note: It’s not necessary to add both video and audio sources at the same time for an encoder. If it’s required, only a video source or only an audio source can be added to an encoder.
Edit Source
If any source is added, this source can be edit anytime except at the time of encoding. (While encoding, "Edit Source" window cannot be opened.) Video and/or audio settings can be adjusted or one of them can be removed. (Both video and audio source cannot be removed while editing, at least one of them must exist.)

Remove a Source
By using this button, the source which is selected can be removed.
Adding Decklink Card As Encoder
Unlike other sources, Decklink Cards have two options while adding them as an encoder. Direct Show (DS) is one of them which is same with other cards. Low Level (LL) is other option and this is a bit different from other cards. When a video source is added as an encoder with LL option, audio will be in this video source too , so an audio source seperately can not be added.
...
This LL and DS settings can be changed from registry only. LL is the default setting of Ingest. Metus support team will help users if it is necessary to change this settings.
Removing an Encoder
An encoder cannot be removed while source is encoding. There are several ways to remove an encoder.
...
- From Hotkey : Another easy way to add a new encoder is using hotkey CTRL+SHIFT+F2.
Encoder Entities
There are meanings of symbol at the "Encoders " view at the Left Panel after adding sources and profiles.
