Stream profiles

A stream profile is a set of stream settings: resolution, frame rate, bitrate, codec, HDR and more.

Stream profiles

Base settings and profiles

  • Standard holds the base settings; new profiles start from it.
  • New profile creates another one, e.g. TV 4K HDR or Mobile data.
  • The active profile (X: Set active) is used for every stream.
  • Start with… (X on a tile) picks another profile for a single launch.

The most important settings

Setting Notes
Video resolution 360p to 4K; lower for weak networks or devices
Video frame rate 30 to 120 FPS
Video bitrate Higher is sharper, needs a better network
Codec H.264, HEVC or AV1, if the device and the host support them
HDR Needs a host GPU with HEVC Main 10 encoding
Virtual display Apollo / Vibepollo create a display matching your resolution and frame rate
Frame pacing Balance between latency and smoothness

Further down: audio, touch and mouse behaviour, on-screen controls and more – the full set of the built-in streaming client.

During the stream

Connection warnings show a small notice over the stream when the connection loses frames, wavers or lags – always, only with the performance overlay, or never.
