# MxPEG Ingest Engine

The MxPEG ingest engine ingests MxPEG video (but not audio) from a file or stream.

NOTE: To ingest MxPEG video from a file you must set the parameter IngestRate to `0`.

Configuration Parameter | Description
--- | ---
StreamTimeout | The maximum amount of time to wait for the next frame.
Type | The type of ingest engine to use. Set this parameter to `MxPEG`.

The MxPEG ingest engine produces the following tracks, where `taskName` is the name of the ingest task:

- `taskName.Image_1` - an image track that contains the video frames. This track can be referred to using the alias `Default_Image`.
- `taskName.Proxy` - the proxy track.
