Transcode Management
Transcoding is the process of converting video files into an universal format (*.MP4) that is
compatible with the broadest range of media players such as mobile devices and Smart TVs.
Converted files with a range of resolutions can be used across different network environments for a
better viewing experience. After transcoding tasks are created, they can be managed here. The
transcoding service is enabled by default.
On-the-fly Transcoding Task
On-the-fly transcoding will simultaneously convert and stream a video while you watch it. This will
consume more CPU resources. If your NAS has hardware transcoding acceleration, it is recommended
to install the CodexPack to increase transcoding speeds and reduce CPU load. You are able to view
and manage who is using on-the-fly transcoding services.
