SUPPLEMENTARY QUESTION:
Q: What is the best session format for streaming?
A: We strongly recommend that you use a progressive video format for sessions you intend primarily for
streaming.
Doing so eliminates fielding artifacts that might otherwise occur due to converting fielded video to
progressive video for streaming. This will generally result in noticeably better quality.
