Apple Qmaster Sharing Window
Compressor includes a distributed processing feature that you can use to speed up your
transcoding jobs. It allows you to harness the power of multiple computers on your local
network to spread out the work. The Apple Qmaster Sharing window, opened by choosing
Apple Qmaster > Share This Computer, provides most of the controls needed to configure
a distributed processing system. For details on setting it up, see
Apple Qmaster and
