Slice 700 series encoders support 1080p, 60fps encoding using both HEVC and H.264 codecs. HEVC
provides the most efficient encoding for both low bitrate and high quality applications, while H.264
supports a wider variety of streaming platforms and is one of the most common video codecs worldwide.
The codec can be switched between HEVC and H.264 from the Encoder Settings and Video Stream Output
settings pages on the web UI, or from the Video Setup menu on the front panel.
