Still Image Streaming
When creating a stream, you can specify a static image that will be used to replace the
encoded video stream when the stream is paused. This feature may be used, for example,
to block out sensitive content or deliver announcements and other messages. (See
The supported source formats for the static image are BMP, JPEG, PNG, and GIF.
The supported output resolutions are 1920x1080, 1280x720, 720x480 (NTSC), and
720x576 (PAL).
TIP
For best results, the input file resolution must be the same or greater than the output
resolution.

replace the “real” video stream when the stream is paused.
