Main bit flow support 1920x1080,1280x720,minor bit flow support 640x360,320x180,the bigger resolution is, the clearer the image will be, more network bandwidth will be taken. Bit Rate User can assign bit flow/stream, normally speaking, the bigger bit flow is, the clearer the image will be. The bit allocation must combine with network bandwidth, when the network bandwidth is too narrow and the allocated bit flow is too big, will cause video signal flow not to be transmitted normally, the video effect will be worse.
