Stream selection fields
Limit which incoming bitrates are available for playback and sort the streams in the output of an asset that uses this packaging configuration.
The minimum and maximum values take into account only the video bitrates. If the video bitrate is below the minimum specified rate, it's not included in the output, regardless of the sum of the bitrates for other tracks. Likewise, if the video bitrate is below the maximum specified rate, it is included in the output, regardless of the sum of the bitrates for other tracks.
To set minimum and maximum bitrates and sort the output, select Enable stream selection and complete the additional fields as follows:
-
(Optional) For Stream order, choose from the following:
-
Original to sort the output streams in the same order that the incoming source uses.
-
Ascending to sort the output streams starting with the lowest bitrate and ending with the highest.
-
Descending to sort the output streams starting with the highest bitrate and ending with the lowest.
-
-
(Optional) For Min video bitrate, enter the minimum bitrate threshold (in bits per second) that video tracks must be at or above to be available for playback from this endpoint. This ensures that tracks are at least a certain bitrate.
-
(Optional) For Max video bitrate, enter the maximum bitrate threshold (in bits per second) that video tracks must be at or below to be available for playback from this endpoint. This ensures that tracks are no more than a certain bitrate.
