Everything that shapes the stream sits in the Stream panel. Studio picks the encoder itself, so there is no settings window.

Bitrate

Bitrate runs from 1 to 20 Mbit/s and starts at 6. Stay within the highest bitrate your Review room or your Streaming Classic plan allows.

Cap the stream at HD

Tick Cap the stream at HD (1920x1080) to scale a larger picture down for the stream. Preview and SDI output keep their size.

Gradient for calibration

Tick Stream a b/w gradient for calibration and viewers see a black-to-white gradient instead of your source until you turn it off. The status bar shows WEDGE ON STREAM while it runs.

When the encoder cannot keep up

If the Mac skips frames, Studio says The encoder cannot keep up with the share of skipped frames, and the status bar shows ENCODER OVERLOAD. Click Restart with HD cap to restart the stream at HD.

Auto-stop

A stream that keeps running costs money until someone stops it. Auto-stop beside the Audio Mixer ends it for you. While a stream runs, Auto-stop shows how long it has been on and when it stops. Turning a limit off asks Turn off auto-stop? first. Settings lock while a stream runs. Stop it to change them.
