Editing an output while broadcasting

SW Encoder's output architecture is designed to limit the impact of an output-only change. Where the change is classified as output-specific, the affected output can be rebuilt without unnecessarily restarting the audio capture and encoding path.

Make configuration changes carefully and confirm the new output reconnects successfully. Monitor the station counters and audio path during the change.

Changes to audio devices or encoder parameters can require a broader pipeline restart than a simple destination edit.
