On preview screen, there are some values over each encoder. At every encoder’s top,
encoder nameencoder name is shown. At the top right side, buffer bar is shown and it indicates the latency of ingest
while encodingwhile encoding. If it gets higher
than 100than 100, the bar turns to yellow, which means this situation is
critical andcritical and encoding should be stopped. At the left side, Vumeter is

durationduration of the current file is seen.
- Bottom bar of preview:
While not encoding, this bar is gray and duration shows 00:00:00:00.
While encoding, this bar turns to red and duration time keeps increasing until encoding stops or pauses pauses.
When encoding paused, bar turns to yellow and duration stops increasing and waits.
WhileIf you split while encoding, if encoding gets split, encoding stops and INGEST starts to record over a new file that’s why . that’s why duration resets and bar color which is red does not change.
