Note

The DVI interface also supports all the SD/HD/3G-SDI Input Resolutions.

SD/HD/3G-SDI Input Resolutions

1920x1080p 60/59.94/50/30/29.97/25/24/23.98 Hz

1920x1080i 60/59.94/50 Hz
1280x720p 60/59.94/50/30/29.97/25 Hz
720x480i 60/59.94 Hz
720x576i 50 Hz

*Interlaced shown in fields per second.

Note

For supported video encoding resolutions, see Supported H.264 Video Encoding Input and Downscale Resolutions.

Video Bitrates (H.264)

SD/HD from 32 kbps to 25 Mbps

Video Bitrates (HEVC)

SD/HD from 32 kbps to 15 Mbps

Rate Control

Variable (VBR)
Constant bit rate (CBR)

Note

Enabling Partial Image Skip constrains the bitrate generated by the encoder. See “Partial Image Skip” in Video Encoder Settings.

Encoding Latency

Less than 60ms (H.264 encoder at 720p60, 6Mbps)
Less than 50ms (HEVC encoder at 720p60, 6 Mbps)

Note

Encoding latency refers to the time delay between capture of a frame and the instant when the frame is encoded and ready for transmission.
