H.264
H.264 is the default value and provides high quality video while using low
bandwidth. This is the preferred codec for the system. We always recommend you
use the hardware encoding profile. However for times when you need to have the
exact same encoding mode as previous versions of Epiphan streaming systems,
we also provide a software encoding option.
