3.4.1 Main/Sub Stream Video Parameters

Main/Sub Stream parameters are typically used for video conferencing or RTMP live streaming.

  • The Main Stream is used for high-quality, high-definition main picture transmission and is the core content for viewing.
  • The Sub Stream is usually for screen sharing (PPT, documents, etc.) or abackup relatively low-resolution stream switched to when the network is poor.

Resolution

The resolution can be set up to 4K@60Hz.

Encoding Method

  • H.264 (AVC): Video encoding standard, balances compression rate and picture quality, good compatibility, suitable for live streaming, video conferencing, etc.
  • H.265 (HEVC): An upgrade to H.264, improves compression efficiency by about 50% (lower bitrate at the same quality) but requires stronger hardware support. Suitable for 4K/8K ultra-high-definition video.
📢  **Notes**

Baseline/Main/High encoding cofigurations sequentially provide higher picture quality but requiring slightly higher computational demands.

GOP (Group of Pictures)

The interval duration between two keyframes, in seconds. Affects video error tolerance and compression efficiency.
