What Are the Recommended Settings for a Live Stream?

1min

You're going to Live Stream an event through AnywhereSeat- great! 

If you're planning on live streaming through AnywhereSeat using RTMP keys (see What are RTMP Keys, and How Do I Get Them?﻿ for more information on RTMP keys), these are the settings we recommend for the best results.
Recommended Encoder Configuration:
Codec H.264
Maximum 1920x1080 resolution
Maximum 5000kbps bitrate (recommended 3500-4500kbps)
Maximum 30 fps
Key frame interval every 3-7 seconds
If you use encoding software on a Mac or Windows PC, we recommend keeping your encoding software on a separate machine from any other tasks you may need to do during your event, such as previewing and monitoring your stream or moderating chat. 
Often, doing all of these on the same system can cause CPU percentage to spike, impacting the quality of your stream and causing other tasks to lag.
