Resolution Sets the video encoding resolution. The values differ depending on the
Video Aspect Ratio. When Video Aspect Ratio = 4:3, the values
available for Resolution are shown in Table 9. The Resolution for
Video Rate2 and Rate3 are automatically set equal to Video Rate1
except when the height (the number of lines of resolution) is 480. (If
the height equals 480, the corresponding values for Video Rate2 and
Video Rate3 are set to 1/4 of the Video Rate1 resolution). When
Video Aspect Ratio = 16x9, the values available for Resolution are
shown in Table 10.
Rate Control
Method
The selections are CBR-CFR or CBR-VFR. Default = CBR-CFR. The
abbreviations refer to:
• CBR – Constant Bit Rate specifies a fixed bit rate so that data is
sent in a steady stream.
• CFR – Constant Frame Rate specifies a fixed frame rate for the
stream.
• VFR – Variable Frame Rate means the encoder may drop frames in
order to maintain better quality.
