Encoder Setup: 

Recommended initial configuration values for the encoder are depicted below. 

It is recommended that you begin with the settings below and adjust as required, based on specific needs. 

Note: The encoder will use the Video Bitrate set for SD Source or HD Source based on the resolution of the input 
source, e.g., an input source of 480p will use the SD Source value while a 720p or 1080p source will use the HD 
Source value.
