640x360.
Resolution Sets the video encoding resolution. The values differ depending on the 
Video Aspect Ratio. When Video Aspect Ratio = 4:3, the values 
available for Resolution are shown in Table 9. The Resolution for 
Video Rate2 and Rate3 are automatically set equal to Video Rate1 
except when the height (the number of lines of resolution) is 480. (If 
the height equals 480, the corresponding values for Video Rate2 and 
Video Rate3 are set to 1/4 of the Video Rate1 resolution). When 
Video Aspect Ratio = 16x9, the values available for Resolution are 
shown in Table 10.
Rate Control 
Method
The selections are CBR-CFR or CBR-VFR. Default = CBR-CFR. The 
abbreviations refer to:
• CBR – Constant Bit Rate specifies a fixed bit rate so that data is 
sent in a steady stream.
• CFR – Constant Frame Rate specifies a fixed frame rate for the 
stream.
• VFR – Variable Frame Rate means the encoder may drop frames in 
order to maintain better quality.
