FPS (Frames Per Second): This refers to the amount of information devoted to movement, smooth vs. blurry. The higher the FPS, the smoother the motion, but this will also consume more bandwidth. Quality: This refers to the resolution of the image. It is important to note that when quality=zero, it will be automatically adjusting and you will not be controlling bandwidth. Moving it to 1 will provide you with the lowest resolution at very low bandwidth. Sliding this to 100 will give you the best resolution at the price of high bandwidth consumption. BW (kbps): This bandwidth feature refers to the bandwidth cap. The previous two sliders affect quality at the cost of bandwidth. This slider indicates this is the maximum bandwidth that you want to consume. However, it is not perfect, so if you set the BW at 100, you may find yourself actually outputting 110kbps; however, you will not reach 200kbps -- it's a ball park number, but it's a small ball park. This will limit the max bandwidth consumed by your feed.

Utilizing the Matrox MX02 series devices to stream HD video over Watchitoo.com. When using a Matrox MX02 series device, we have isolated specific configurations that will optimize your streamed video as well as maintain a proper audio sync for your stream. Camera Settings: First and foremost, make sure that all of your cables are properly connected to the MXO2 input pane. Next set your camera to output video that can be recognized and converted by the Matrox MX02 box. Please use the settings below as a reference. Video Out: Output: Be sure to set your camera output to the highest possible resolution to be broadcast to your computer. Generally streams are output at 1080i or 720p at 29.97, 30, or 60 frames per second. The camera’s recording setting is not important for streaming and can be ignored for the sake of pushing out to the web. Flash Media Live Encoder (FMLE): Device: Select Matrox as your active device and click on the wrench icon next to the pulldown in order to open your incoming stream settings. Video Input Format: Set this to mimic the output settings on your camera’s output. Watchitoo generally outputs at 1080/29.97i and that is what is chosen as the Video Input Format in the Matrox settings. Video Input Source: Select either HDMI or SDI depending on which cable you intend to use. Frame Size: For 1080i select 1920x1080, and for 720p select 1280x720. Frames Per Second: Mimic the fps out from your camera. Format: VP6 is preferable to H.264 as it is Adobe’s proprietary streaming protocol and demonstrates a more robust lip-sync. FPS: This will automatically mimic the FPS setting that you selected under the device settings. Input Size: For 1080i select 1920x1080, and for 720p select 1280x720. Brining in external audio: While FMLE will provide you with the option of bringing in a video feed separate from your Matrox box, it is not suggested to do so, as an audio drift may occur that will lose the sync of audio and video. Watchitoo.com strongly recommends either plugging your audio source directly into the Matrox box itself or going into one of the camera’s audio inputs and selecting the proper connection (HDMI/SDI) as output in the camera’s settings. Furthermore, when in FMLE, you must also select your incoming audio source under the device settings pane that appears as a small wrench next to the input device pulldown. Summary: Make sure that all of your camera output and your FMLE input settings match in both format (1080i/720p) as well as frame rate. Setting two different frame rates may result in a loss of synch between your audio and video. Next, be sure to mix your audio and video using the Matrox MXO2 series device. Failure to utilize the hardware in mixing A/V may also result in a loss of synch between audio and video. Finally press start and begin your stream. You should now be broadcasting to Watchitoo.com in HD quality!
