This list is not exhaustive and any codec that is not written above, should be considered as part of this list:
IS-SPX Player Profiles and Levels
MPEG-4 (Part 2): Simple and Advanced Simple ( SP/ASP ) up to level 5 (reference: MPEG-4 levels) -
resolution up to 720p for SPX1300 and SD for SPX1000.
MPEG-2: Main profile and Main level (MP@ML) (reference: MPEG-2 profiles and levels) - resolution up to
720p for SPX1300 and SD for SPX1000.
H.264: (aka MPEG4 Part 10) Constrained Baseline or Main profile up to level 3 (reference: H264 levels) -
resolution up to SD.
MJPEG - resolution up to SD.

Notes:
MPEG-4 is the most optimized codec to use on IS-SPX Players.
Please see Appendix: Encoding Guides on page 45 if you need to convert your video to be supported.
Recommended Maximum Resolution
The maximum resolution values below are recommended, based on square-pixel aspect ration for common usage.
If your video is above these values, you might need to re-encode your video.
For advanced users, the actual maximum resolutions (including non-square PAR) can be deducted from the
codec specification / constraints.
Recommended Bit Rate
The values below are recommended for optimal usage. The maximum bit-rate can be deducted from the codec
specification / constraints.
