So What Bitrate Should I Use?
The bitrate that you choose will largely depend on the speed of your connection. With an upload speed of 10 Mbps, you could of course upload up to that amount, but this will hinder the rest of your Internet connection. Also, bear in mind the target audience you are broadcasting to, and speculate what type of connections and devices they are watching on. A viewer watching a church sermon and a viewer watching an e-sports tournament will have very different setups.
So while there isn’t exactly a golden ratio, here is what we generally recommend for streaming:
1080p : 4Mbps to 6Mbps
720p: 2Mbps to 4Mbps
480p: 1Mbps to 2Mbps
360p: 400kbps to 1.5Mbps
240p: 300kbps to 700kbps
If you happen to be using Teradek’s VidiU to stream, your VidiU portal comes with a couple of preconfigured settings for video quality: Full HD, HD, High, Medium, Low, Mobile. Here are the specs for these settings:
Full HD: 1920 x 1080 / 5.2 Mbps
HD: 1280 x 720 / 2.2 Mbps
High: 960 x 540 / 1.4 Mbps
Medium: 736 x 414 / 796 Kbps
Low: 480 x 270 / 446 Kbps
Mobile: 360 x 200 / 273 Kbps
Keep in mind that every streaming platform comes with different presets which may or may not limit the amount of bitrates you are allowed to transfer.
