Choose your codec and quality setting but note that the transcode node does not do frame rate conversions. This means that if your source file is 1080i59.94, only codecs that support that resolution/frame rate will work properly. For frame rate conversions use Loki.

For a list of codecs in ConneX and their supported resolutions/frame rates/color spaces reference this document: |
Also keep in mind that if you are transcoding to DNXHD, the codec you choose specifically needs to match your frame rate. So for example if your file is 23.98, only DNXHD codecs that support that frame rate (DNXHD 36, 115 and 175) will work.

For DNXHD frame rate compatibility reference this wiki page: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/List_of_Avid_DNxHD_resolutions |
For color space and wrapper, make sure in the above document that the color space and wrapper you choose are supported by your chosen codec.
When choosing a new resolution make sure that the resolution you choose is supported by the codec using the above document.
Lastly, for audio setup, if you choose “leave as source” your audio config from your source file will merely carry over into the transcoded file. If you choose “import from,” you’ll want to click browse and go to the following directory:
...
In this folder you’ll find audio configuration files for discrete, interleaved, mono and stereo. Choose the audio config that you’d like your new file to have.
For tape name, if you leave the default of [tapename] the… If you’d like to modify the tape name you can type in your own string of characters or, if you’d like to include the file name or some portion of the file path in the tape name you can use wildcards. The wildcard for the file name is simply [filename] while the wildcard for the file path is [../../dirname], where dirname represents the folder where the source file is located and each instance of ../ represents one directory above. So for example if your file path and name is E:\Connex Testing\Camera Media\Arri\A05_060422_DAY_13\A005A3XM\A005C001_220604_A3XM.mov and you want your tape name to be A05_060422_DAY_13_A005C001_220604_A3XM, for tape name you’d want to use the string [../dirname]_[filename] because the directory name is coming from the folder one level above the folder where the source file is located.
