The

Stream profiles

settings override the settings from the

Stream

tab. If you request a stream with a specific stream profile, the

stream contains the settings of that profile. If you request a stream without specifying a stream profile, or request a stream profile
that doesn't exist in the product, the stream contains the settings from the

Stream

tab.

Bitrate control

With bitrate control, you can manage the bandwidth consumption of your video stream.

Variable bitrate (VBR)

With variable bitrate, the bandwidth consumption varies based on the level of activity in the scene. The more activity in the scene,
the more bandwidth you need. You are guaranteed constant image quality but it requires storage margins.

Maximum bitrate (MBR)

With maximum bitrate, you can set a target bitrate to handle bitrate limitations in your system. You may see a decline in image
quality or frame rate when the instantaneous bitrate is kept below the specified target bitrate. You can choose to either prioritize
image quality or frame rate. We recommend that you configure the target bitrate to a higher value than the expected bitrate. This
gives you a margin for additional complexity that needs to be captured.
