You may add support for multiple encoding profiles to your account. Contact your account manager to either add an encoding profile or upgrade an existing one.

A 4K UHD encoding profile requires GPU hardware (e.g., Nvidia Tesla T4 GPU) and the latest video drivers (e.g., Linux x86_64 driver version 418.39 or higher).
