The Gravity Scheduler provides a streamlined graphical interface for controlling Encodes and Decodes. The Gravity Scheduler allows the user to set up a series of timed events on a clear graphical timeline. Individual event metadata is displayed in list format in a dedicated Media Info pane. Scheduler offers a choice of crash, single, one time encodes or regular multiple recurring events. Users can lock resources and visually display and modify router control from the Scheduler interface. The software allows for sorting and grouping of encoders for better monitoring or prioritisation.
