file:///run/media/sda/abc.ts (for file path), udp://192.168.25.89:5004/ (for Network streaming, Here 192.168.25.89 is Client's IP address and 5004 is port number)

Raw

To tell the pipeline is processed or pass-through

True, False

Width

The width of the live source

3840, 1920

Height

The height of the live source

2160, 1080

Format

The format of input data

NV12

Enable SCD

Enable or Disable Memory based SCD in the pipeline

True, False

Exit

It indicates to the application that the configuration is over

Encoder

Encoder Configuration

It is the starting point of encoder configuration

Encoder Num

Starting N^th encoder configuration

1 to 8

Encoder Name

Name of the encoder

AVC, HEVC

Profile

Name of the profile

AVC: baseline, main or high
HEVC: Main

Rate Control

Rate control options

CBR, VBR, and Low_Latency

Filler Data

Filler Data NAL units for CBR rate control

True, False

QP

QP control mode used by the VCU encoder

Uniform, Auto

L2 Cache

Enable or Disable L2Cache buffer in encoding process

True, False

Latency Mode

Encoder latency mode.

Low Bandwidth

If enabled, decrease the vertical search range used for P-frame motion estimation to reduce the bandwidth.

True, False

Gop Mode

Group of Pictures mode.

Basic, low_delay_p, low_delay_b

Bitrate

Target bitrate in Kbps

1-60000

B Frames

Number of B-frames between two consecutive P-frames

0-4

Slice

The number of slices produced for each frame. Each slice contains one or more complete macroblock/CTU row(s). Slices are distributed over the frame as regularly as possible. If slice-size is defined as well more slices may be produced to fit the slice-size requirement.

Horizontal, Vertical, Disabled

Entropy Mode

It specifies the entropy mode for H.264 (AVC) encoding process

CAVLC, CABAC, Default

Max Picture Size

It is used to curtail instantaneous peak in the bit-stream using this parameter. It works in CBR/VBR rate-control only. When it is enabled, max-picture-size value is calculated and set with 10% of AllowedPeakMargin. i.e. max-picture-size =  (TargetBitrate / FrameRate) * 1.1
