Note 1: Encode Resolutions Supported:

WQVGA (320x180), QVGA (320x240), SIF (352x240), CIF (352x288), 2-CIF (352x576),

640x360, VGA (640x480), 4-CIF (704x576), 16:9 PAL (1024x576), D1 PAL (720x576)

D1 NTSC (720x480), 720p (1280x720), XGA (1280x1024), 1080p (1920x1080), Follow input

“Follow input” = Generate encoder resolution based on capture resolution detected

Note 2:

If input is interlaced, then Frame Rate will divide the number of fields used.  This means, a conversion
to progressive is done.  This method allows for a reduction in bits needed / processing power without
introducing extra jerkiness when there is motion in the video.  For example, if the input is 1080i at 60
fields per second (30 frames per second), Frame Rate Divider has the following effect:

Frame Rate Output # fields used frame rate

Full 1080i 60 30

Half 1080p 30 30

Quarter 1080p 15 15

Sixth 1080p 10 10

Note 3: GOP Sizes Supported:

10, 12, 15, 25, 30, 50, 60, 100, 120, 200, 240 Frames
