Stream Settings
There are many settings that can be changed on the Oden Streamer side to change the streaming behavior. This is a list of the most important settings that can be changed depending on use case:
-
Per Megapixel Bitrate - Instead of having a global bitrate target, a per megapixel target bitrate can be set, this is recommended when auto video packer is enabled.
-
Target Bitrate - This is the bitrate that Oden tries to aim for if the network allows it, can be seen as a maximum bitrate.
-
Grayscale - Send the image as grayscale.
-
Use FEC - Oden has built-in support for Forward Error Correction which can significantly help with video stability if the network has a lot of packet loss. The FEC algorithm will increase bandwidth used which may cause the bandwidth to be above the target bitrate.
-
FEC amount - How much extra FEC that should be sent, a percentage of the total number of packets.
-
Min extra packets - How many extra packets should at a minimum be sent as FEC packets.
-
-
Sync to Video - Oden will sync to an incoming video stream which will keep the latency to a minimum for that camera, it is recommended to sync to the main camera.
