Configuring the Video Settings
From the
V
IDEO
S
ETTINGS
page, you can define the Video Encoding properties such as the
Input type, Resolution, GOP Size, and Bit Rate. Note that the available settings and reso-
lutions vary according to the Input Format.
When configuring the Video Settings, you must select the Input type. The Makito will then
auto-detect the incoming resolution and frame rate. If not detected (or outside the supported
range), the Input Format field will show
Unknown
.
HiLo Video Streaming
You may optionally configure the encoder for “HiLo” video streaming, in which the
Makito encodes a single input and emits both high and low bandwidth streams simultane-
ously. A typical example is a full quality SD/HD (“High”) stream and a thumbnail (“Low”)
sample of the same stream. To configure “HiLo” video streaming, you must define the
Video Encoding properties for the second encoder instance in the “Low” column. For
supported HiLo video encoding resolutions, see
260.
