# Router configuration

The **Router settings** window enables users to configure the router parameters by establishing the connection and control of the SDI Router. This is performed by setting the input labels and using these labels to map the inputs for the Live Encoder services.

The output connections must be configured to map the router outputs to the input SDI ports of the encoder servers.
