Could other software vendors control our encoders through native encoder APIs such as Microsoft Windows Media Encoder?
A. The Windows Media Encoder (WME) can be launched on both DME products. However, other software vendors will have to load a control agent on the DME products that will enable their applications to control the WME. This operation will not be supported by Cisco. Q. Can the encoders be individually controlled without a software application A. Yes. Both encoders have LCD displays and selection buttons on the front that allow almost full control of the encoding process. The DME 1000 goes a step further and includes three preset encoder format buttons, so that with two button pushes you can select a preset format and start streaming.
