Change the Format Profile on a SnapStream 4-Channel Encoder

You can adjust the stream's outputting format for SnapStream encoders. This is done by adjusting the stream's Format Profile. If you would like to adjust the Format Profile for your outputting IP streams on your SnapStream 4-Channel Encoder, follow these steps.




Modifying the stream settings on the encoder will result in a restart of that stream. Before modifying, please ensure that the stream is currently not in use.
