You can configure video settings, such as the output type, video format, encoding parameters, and frame rate. By adjusting video settings, you can manage video characteristics, including clarity, smoothness, level of detail, and resolution.
In the web interface side pane, click Video.
On the Video page, from the HDMI/SDI Output list, select one of the following options:
HDMI
SDI
From the Video Format field, select the video format for an HDMI or SDI output.
From the Encode Level list, select one of the following options:
mainprofile: To use an enhanced form of encoding to obtain a higher video quality with a smaller file size.
You can use this encode level for most modern devices and web streaming.
highprofile: To use an advanced form of encoding to obtain the highest video quality with the smallest file size.
You can use this encode level for long-term video storage.
In the First Stream section, from the Encode Codec list, select one of the following options:
H264: To use a balanced solution between video quality and compression rate.
H265: To use better video quality with a lower compression rate.
MJPEG: To use the highest video quality with the lowest compression rate.
From the Resolution list, select the video resolution for the stream.
If you selected H.264 or H.265 as the encode protocol, in the Bit Rate field, type a value to set the bit rate for adjusting image clarity.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The bit rate must correspond to the available network bandwidth. If the bit rate exceeds the bandwidth capacity, you might experience poor video quality.
If you selected MJPEG as the encode protocol, in the Qfactor field, type a quality level value.
From the Frame Rate list, select a frame rate value.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A higher frame rate makes video images smoother.
If you selected H.264 or H.265 as the encode protocol, in the I Key Frame Interval field, type a value to set the interval between two intra-frames (I-frames).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A bigger interval reduces the level of detail in your video. A smaller interval captures more details but reduces the bandwidth.
If you selected H.264 or H.265 as the encode protocol, from the Bit Rate Control list, select one of the following options:
CBR (Constant Bit Rate): A video codec encodes video at the preset speed.
VBR (Variable Bit Rate): A video codec adjusts the encoding speed based on the preset speed to get the best image quality.
Repeat the steps to configure video settings in the Second Stream section.
