Video Quality settings correspond to
the following bitrates and resolutions:
Full HD - 5.0 Mbps 1920x1080
HD+
- 4.0 Mbps 1280x720
HD - 2.0 Mbps 1280x720
High - 1.25 Mbps 960x540
Medium - 700 Kbps 736x414
Low - 350 Kbps 480x270
Mobile - 225 Kbps 360x200
Audio Quality settings correspond to
the following bitrates:
HD - 256 Kbps

based on video quality
Frame Rates:
High - Up to 50/60fps**
Full - 24/30fps
Half - 12.5/15 fps
Quarter - 6/7.5 fps

Suggest Quality measures the current
available bandwidth and recommends
a quality setting based on the result.
Adaptive Bitrate (previous screen)
measures the current available
bandwidth and recommends a quality
setting based on the result.
Video Quality Considerations
●
The Video Quality settings combine video
bitrate and resolution and will vary based
on the bandwidth available and the
platform used.
●
Always select a video bitrate that is less
than 70% of the total upload bandwidth
available on the Internet connection. (i.e.
if 5 Mbps is available, set the video to 3.5
Mbps or lower).
●
Some platforms (i.e. YouTube) will
automatically generate lower quality
streams from a high quality input
(transcoding), so the highest possible
quality can be used. If the streaming
platform does not transcode the video,
consider that your viewers must have
the available download bandwidth to view
the stream.
