CHAPTER 4: BASIC OPERATION
4.8 ADJUSTING VIDEO SETTINGS
The encoder employs Variable Bit Rate (VBR) encoding when transmitting IP streams. Specifying “High Bitrate,” “Low Bitrate,” and
“Low Resolution” for video will define the limits of IP stream transmission, without overloading the network bandwidth.
1. Login to the Maestro web interface. See Logging In for more information.
2. Click the IP Streaming tab.
FIGURE 4-18.
3. For UDP and RTP streams, the High Bitrate setting is used.
NOTE: The Low Bitrate setting and Low Resolution are disabled in these modes.
Click the High Bitrate drop-down list to select a bitrate from 1 to 10 Mb/sec.
FIGURE 4-19.
When in HLS mode, the encoder will output both a High Bitrate stream and a Low Bitrate stream simultaneously using the target
bitrates specified. The High Bitrate stream will always be output at the same resolution and frame rate as the original input.
The Low Bitrate stream will output a reduced resolution stream. The resolution of this stream can be selected using the “Low
Resolution” option.
Click the Low Resolution drop-down list and select the desired resolution of the Low Bitrate HLS stream.
