● Pre-Buffer for Packet Delay (elsewhere called Jitter2 Percentage) tells the Decoder how large to set
the Jitter2 buffer to compensate for bursting or delayed packets. Setting this value higher will increase
reliability and latency when network bandwidth fluctuates.
● Shaping Percent is a percentage of the Target Bitrate, representing the maximum amount of data
(including both video stream packets and packets re-sent by the Encoder) that the Encoder is allowed
to send.

Video Settings
Video Resolution: Sets the capture resolution of the encoded video. The dropdown list will be commensurate
with the incoming video resolution; e.g., if the incoming video is HD, then the list will include possible
resolutions for HD (vs SD, UHD, 4K, etc.).
Color Profile: The video color profile specifies the detail level at which the Streambox Encoder captures color
data.
Frame-rate: The frame rate at which the ACT-L3 or ACT-L5 encodes video may be adjusted below full frame
rate.
Key Frames: The key frame frequency value determines the maximum amount of frames to be encoded
before key frame creation is forced. (Default: 1080i – 300, 720p – 240). Lower values require higher bandwidth
as it will force keyframes to send more frequently.
