Recommended RTMP Live streaming settings

EventLive supports HEVC (H265) and H264 (standard) over RTMP. Use H265 if your encoder supports it, as it provides ~2x quality for the same bitrate.

Recommended settings for RTMP streaming (720p)

• Resolution: 720p
• Bitrate: 2000 - 3000 Kbps
• Frame rate: 30fps (Other frame rates are supported but will be converted to 30fps. We recommend streaming in 30fps)
• Keyframe Interval: 2 seconds
• Audio Frequency: 48 kHz

Recommended settings for RTMP streaming (1080p)

Please use 1080p if you're confident your computer or encoder performance allows streaming in 1080p

• Resolution: 1080p
• Bitrate: 4000 - 6000 Kbps
• Frame rate: 30fps (Other frame rates are supported but will be converted to 30fps. We recommend streaming in 30fps)
• Keyframe Interval: 2 seconds
• Audio Frequency: 48 kHz

Constant Bitrate is recommended to avoid traffic spikes. However, if your video will have excessive pan motions constant bitrate can cause pixelation, and variable bitrate is recommended.

EventLive Transcoding Specs

For 1080p videos we transcode into 3 qualities for adaptive bitrate (ABR) delivery:

• 1080p @ 5500 Kbps, 30fps
• 720p @ 3300 Kbps, 30fps
• 432p @ 1200 Kbps, 30fps

For 720p videos we transcode into 2 qualities for adaptive bitrate (ABR) delivery:

• 720p @ 3500 Kbps, 30fps
• 432p @ 1200 Kbps, 30fps

We do not currently support 4K streaming.
