Video format Support 50HZ(PAL)and 60HZ(NTSC),and Dial priority three formats. Video Coding Support baseline and mainprofile format Resolution 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.

Maximum frame rate: User can specify the size of the frame rate, generally, the frame rate greater, the image more smooth; Frame rate is smaller, the more sense of beating. Bit Rate: Code stream control way: Constant bit rate: video coder will be coding according to preset speed Variable bit rate: video coder will adjust the speed based on preset speed to gain the best image quality.
