= Encoder PCs

The Encoder Cubes are handling the video capturing, switching and recording and are the source for the live streams.
We run debian together with Voctomix on them. The name encoderX might be misleading and was more fitting in the past – we are currently migrating their naming scheme to cubeX. Today the cubes only run voctomix core and encode live streams as the release encoding was delegated the minions. However, the cubes might be used to encode release files during longer breaks e.g. in the night time.

== Encoder cube 1-4 Initially our first generation cubes, now after a refresh in 2017 somehow the fourth generation.
