Broadcast Menu

Canvas Size Sets the canvas size aspect ratio used when broadcasting a Wirecast

document.

Note: You should match the output to the canvas size as close as possible to preserve

video resolution and quality. For example, a 800x600 source results in significant loss

of quality if an aspect ratio of 640x480 is selected. Using 720x576, which is much

closer in size, helps preserve video quality.

Broadcast Settings Opens the Broadcast Settings window.

Start/Stop Broadcasting Starts (or stops) broadcasting to the network.

Start/Stop Recording Starts (or stops) recording to disk. If you have not yet configured

the Broadcast Settings for this document, you are prompted to do so.
