MCS allows profile change on the channel configuration based on the scheduler configuration. Please follow the steps below to configure the scheduler and use it in the source configuration for profile change.
**Before creating the scheduler groups, ensure you have the desired profile on the monitored channel that requires a profile switch. If you don’t have one, please create a profile per your requirement.
Navigate to Source → Sources Config, and double click on the channel you want to create a profile; navigate to the profile screen as shown below. Click on the Add Profile button (Highlighted in red). In this example, we will use two profiles in the scheduler configuration. Default and profile1 (Highlighted in green). The Default profile has the default profile configuration of the channel. In the new profile created (profile1), fill in the details appropriately and click on the save icon to save the newly created profile.
