New for Chatvibe 3.x is the Encoder Status Tab The Expected Bit Rate is the Kbps that the encoder profile is set to for the video portion of the stream (desired Bit Rate).

The Video Bit Rate is the second-by-second actual Bit Rate being consumed whilst uploading the video portion (varies on darkness / complexity of image), and on average, the Average Bit Rate is... the average, which hopefully should be relatively close to the Expected Bit Rate if conditions are not degraded.

Dropped Bytes should tell us if there are any dropped video bytes during degraded conditions. I've never seen it as anything other than zero.

Bandwidth

The term 'Bandwidth' describes the amount of data is transfered from your PC running Chatvibe, to the end user, and is measured in Kilobits per second (Kbp/s). The greater the Kb/s, the greater the image and sound detail, and the greater the speed requirements of your computer and your Internet connection.

How to select bandwidth:
You may adjust the bandwidth settings yourself by clicking on SETUP / STREAMING / VIDEOSIZE + BANDWIDTH and making your own selection.

Choose LOW or MEDIUM Bandwidth if:
  • Your computer is a dual core Pentium 4 or lower.
  • If your Internet connection is less than 250kb/s upstream
  • If you are using a 'webcam'.

Choose HIGH Bandwidth if:
  • You are using a Dual Core Pentium 2.2 GHz or Faster, AND
  • You Internet connection is 250Kb/s upstream or faster..

Choose HIGH Bandwidth AND 'Wide Screen' Mode if:
  • Your computer has an Intel CORE2 DUO or CORE2 EXTREME Processor AND;
  • You are using a Video Capture Card such as the Viewcast Osprey 210 Capture Card AND;
  • You are using a Camcorder with 16:9 'Wide Screen' support.
