Edit Video Encoder Configuration Page
The Edit Video Encoder Configuration page allows the edition of the properties of the
VideoEncoderConfiguration object.
It shows a single panel: the Video Encoder Configuration panel.
The layout of the Video Encoder Configurations panel is specific to the video encoding method.

Video encoder configuration panel - common fields
|
Name |
Description |
|---|---|
| Token | The token name of the VideoEncoderConfiguration object, e.g.
VideoEncoderConfiguration01. This field cannot be edited. |
| Name | A friendly name given to the configuration. Default value = token name |
| Encoding | Video encoding method: H.264 or JPEG |
| Resolution | The resolution of the encoded image, e.g. 1920x1080 |
| Rate Control - Frame Rate Limit | The maximum output frame rate of the encoded stream, in fps. If an EncodingInterval is provided, the resulting encoded frame rate will be reduced by the given factor. |
| Rate Control - Encoding Interval | The interval at which images are encoded and transmitted. A value of 1 means that every frame is encoded, a value of 2 means that every 2nd frame is encoded,... |
| Rate Control - Bitrate Limit | The maximum output bit rate in kbps. This field cannot be edited in case of JPEG encoding. |
| Multicast - Enable multicast | Check the box to configure RTP multicast streaming. |
| Multicast - Multicast Address | The IP address of the multicast group. In IPv4, addresses 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255 are designated as multicast addresses. |
| Multicast - Multicast Port | The port number of the multicast group. |
| Multicast - Multicast TTL | The Time-To-Live of the multicast IP datagrams. Usually 1 since the datagrams stops after the first router. |
| Multicast - Multicast AutoStart | Indicates the persistence of multicast streaming. When true, the multicast streaming starts automatically. This field cannot be edited.This is enabled/disabled by clicking on the Start/Stop Multicast button (in the Live Media Panel). |
Video encoder configuration panel - H.264 / H.265 specific fields
| Name | Description | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GOP Size | Length of the Group of Pictures (or Video frames). Determines typically the interval in which the I-Frames will be coded. An entry of 1 indicates I-Frames are continuously generated. An entry of 2 indicates that every 2nd image is an I-Frame, and 3 only every 3rd frame, etc. The frames in between are coded as P or B Frames. | ||||||
| Profile | The H.264 encoder profiles: baseline, main, or high. | ||||||
| Rate Control - Rate Control Method |
The rate control method of the H.264 encoder. Possible values:
|
||||||
| Low Latency | Check the box to configure the low-latency encoding method. |
