EventLive supports HEVC (H265) and H264 (standard) over RTMP. Use H265 if your encoder supports it, as it provides ~2x quality for the same bitrate.
Recommended settings for RTMP streaming (720p)
Resolution: 720p
Bitrate: 2000 - 3000 Kbps
Frame rate: 30fps (Other frame rates are supported but will be converted to 30fps. We recommend streaming in 30fps)
Keyframe Interval: 2 seconds
Audio Frequency: 48 kHz
Recommended settings for RTMP streaming (1080p)
Please use 1080p if you're confident your computer or encoder performance allows streaming in 1080p
Resolution: 1080p
Bitrate: 4000 - 6000 Kbps
Frame rate: 30fps (Other frame rates are supported but will be converted to 30fps. We recommend streaming in 30fps)
Keyframe Interval: 2 seconds
Audio Frequency: 48 kHz
Constant Bitrate is recommended to avoid traffic spikes. However, if your video will have excessive pan motions constant bitrate can cause pixelation, and variable bitrate is recommended.
EventLive Transcoding Specs
For 1080p videos we transcode into 3 qualities for adaptive bitrate (ABR) delivery:
1080p @ 5500 Kbps, 30fps
720p @ 3300 Kbps, 30fps
432p @ 1200 Kbps, 30fps
For 720p videos we transcode into 2 qualities for adaptive bitrate (ABR) delivery:
720p @ 3500 Kbps, 30fps
432p @ 1200 Kbps, 30fps
We do not currently support 4K streaming.
