Streaming Encoder Settings; Encoding Format; Resolution - Datavideo HS-4000 Instruction Manual

The correlated video bitrates of the encoder and the recorder in each mode are summarized
in the table below:
Modes
Low 6 Mbps
Medium 8 Mbps
High 10 Mbps
Please note that you can also use the
bitrate.
You can also use the Bitrate button on the front panel to switch between High, Medium and
Low. See BITRATE Button.

Streaming Encoder Settings

The stream settings will be described in detail below.

Encoding Format

First select either the H.264 or H265 video codec after you've turned on the streaming
server.
If you're working with high-resolution video formats such as 4K and 8K, H.265 is the better
choice due to its improved compression efficiency. However, if you're working with older
devices or platforms that may not support H.265, or if you're streaming video over a limited
bandwidth connection, H.264 may be the better option.

Resolution

does not make sense to capture at 720 and stream at 1080. Note that you will also have no
gain in quality and you are using more bandwidth than is necessary for your viewers.
You should also be aware that higher resolutions require greater processing power to
encode the stream. Attempting too high of a resolution on too little processing power can
result in degraded image quality and corrupted or interrupted streams or recordings.

Video Bitrate
The first step of encoder setup is to adjust the image size. It
is best to either match your original video source or scale it
down. For example, capture at HD 720 and stream at HD 720.
Or capture at 4K 2160 and stream at Full HD 1080.
You should never be scaling up and streaming at a higher
resolution than your original video source. For example, it
