Basic Information | Required | Description |
Template name | Yes | The name of the adaptive bitrate template, which can be 1-10 characters long and supports letters and numbers (cannot contain only numbers). |
Template description | No | The description of the template, which can contain only Chinese characters,letters, digits, spaces, underscores (_), and hyphens (-). |
Stream Information | Required | Description |
Transcoding type | Yes | The transcoding type, which can be Standard Transcoding, Top Speed Codec Transcoding. |
Stream name | Yes | Substream Template Name supports 1-10 characters, only allowing letters and alphanumeric combinations, and does not support pure numbers. The substream name cannot be duplicated with existing transcoding template names and substream names. |
Video quality | No | You can choose Smooth, SD, or HD. After you select a value, the system will automatically enter the recommended video bitrate and height, which can be modified. |
Video bitrate (Kbps) | Yes | The output video bitrate. Value range: 101-8000. If you enter a value not larger than 1,000, it must be a multiple of 100. If you enter a value larger than 1,000, it must be a multiple of 500. |
Video resolution (px) | Yes | By default, you set the height of the output video. You can also set the short side length. The value must be in the range of 2-3000 and must be multiple of two. The other side will be scaled proportionally. |
DRM encryption | Yes | Disabled by default and can be enabled manually. To enable DRM encryption, you need to first obtain the key information in DRM Management. DRM schemes including Widevine, FairPlay, and NormalAES are supported for HLS playback. For FairPlay encryption, you need to upload the certificate you obtain from Apple to your player. Encryption Types: Default Widevine, Optional Fairplay and NormalAES. |
Codec | No | The original codec is selected by default. You can change it to H.264, H.265, or AV1. The codec for all the streams in the same adaptive bitrate template must be the same. |
Video frame rate (fps) | No | You can choose to keep the original frame rate or set a video frame rate. By default, the original frame rate is maintained. The video frame rate setting value range: 1 fps - 60 fps. |
GOP(seconds) | No | The GOP is not specified by default. Value range: 1-6. The higher the GOP, the higher the latency. The GOP for all the streams in the same adaptive bitrate template must be the same. |
Parameter limit | No | Parameter limits are disabled by default. After a limit is enabled, if you enter a value higher than the original, the original will be used. This can avoid video quality issues caused by using high video quality settings to transcode videos of low quality. |
