Videolinq's Premium and Enterprise+ subscription plans support Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) streaming. ABR offers viewers different resolutions and bitrate streaming based on their device and network connectivity. To enable ABR do the following:
Step 1:
Configure the source stream (RTMP encoder, live stream pull, MP4 files) like this -
Resolution: 1920x1080
Frames per second: 30
Video codec: H.264 Main
Video bitrate: 5 - 6 Mbps
Rate control: CBR
Audio codec: AAC
Audio bitrate: 128 Kbps
Keyframe: every 2 seconds
Step 2:
Login to the Videolinq dashboard, open the channel, start the video source.
Step 3:
Click on the Player tab, and enable Adaptive Bitrate (ABR).
Step 4:
Push "Go Live". Video will appear in the preview player.
Step 5:
Expand the Settings option to confirm ABR is present in the stream.
Important: When live streaming with ABR enabled, target destinations get the 1080p version of the transcoded video.
