• Layout – The frame size, aspect ratio, position of the Main and PIP windows and graphical overlays.
• Quality – The video and audio quality desired and respective bit-rates.
• Network – The Channel's multicast or unicast addresses.
• Recording – Archive filenames and other recording parameters.
• Upload – Disposition of the archive file once the recording has completed.
• Notifications – Email messages to the administrator of the Channel.
The Quick Start page allows for a limited selection of factory default settings. More comprehensive
modifications to a Channel are done from the Channels tab.
The first dialog box allows selection of a number of standard bit-rates and the upload of custom graphics for
overlay.
Select the lower speeds for material that is mainly graphics and the higher bit-rates for video material.
