Samples of stream settings
When choosing your stream settings it is important to consider the stream content. When streaming fast moving video it's best to choose a higher bitrate and frame rate versus streaming a slide presentation where you can save on bandwidth and system processing by lower the bitrate and frame rate. Stream setup is a matter of balancing quality and system resource usage.
To help you to achieve this balance the following tables list the recommended settings when streaming video and slide content from a PC, Mac or tablet.
