4. Preferences
Before you begin using the Livestream Studio, you will need to configure
your project settings. To begin configuration, click the gear icon in the top
righthand corner of the UI.
Note: Preferences are locked when streaming is in progress. Be sure to set all
of your preferences before taking a stream live.
4.1 General Preferences
Video Format: Defines the project format for Livestream Studio operation. All
video input sources must match this selected format. Output format will also
match this selection unless downconversion is necessary.
Audio Format: Allows selection of mono or stereo audio operation.
Preview Method: Allows selection of multiview interlaced field viewing. This
selection is unavailable when a progressive video format is selected.
Audio Cross fade duration: Sets the speed (in frames) for audio cross fades
following CUT functionality only. Audio cross fades associated with video
cross fades (follow) will follow the ‘Speed’ setting in the ‘Main Mix’ window (see
‘Preview/Program Switching’ section below).

Media Autoplay Mode Behavior: Defines the method for Media Player
playback as ‘Pause Playback’ or ‘Continue Playback’.
Auto Start with Windows: When selected, Livestream Studio software will
launch with Windows.
4.2 Input/Output Preferences
The Livestream Studio will launch with default settings for (4) HD-SDI inputs
(via Decklink Quad card) and (1) HD-SDI output (via Decklink Studio card). This
configuration can be changed to allow for (5) simultaneous inputs with no live
output (streaming or internal recording assumed in this configuration).
Output Selection: You’ll
want to select your output
source first, as this will
lock/unlock the fifth
video input accordingly.

Input Selection: Once
your output source is set,
you will want to make
sure the proper input
sources are selected.
Select the desired source
from the ‘Video input’
dropdown for each
associated input channel.
Then select the desired
audio input method from the ‘Audio input’ dropdown for each associated
input channel (Decklink Quad inputs will only support SDI embedded audio.
Decklink Studio inputs will support embedded, analog or AES/EBU Audio via
the Blackmagic breakout cable).
Note: Blackmagic analog audio input MUST be accompanied by a video
input source to be active. When using analog audio input, be sure to use the
Decklink Studio card as one of your video inputs.
You can also rename each input channel as it will appear in your multiview by
changing the associated name under the ‘Camera’ column of the input
selection menu.
4.3 Hotkey Preferences

Queue Limit: Defines the frame buer queue limit (in frames) for recording.

4.5 Streaming Preferences
Antilag: When enabled, the antilag feature will work to reduce latency on the
viewing end of the stream; if delay on the encoding side builds up past the
user selected ‘Antilag Duration’, the frame buer will be cleared. In general,
this option should remain o unless low latency is a critical component of the
broadcast. It should only be used when a solid internet connection is available
for streaming.
Antilag Duration: Defines the antilag duration (in frames) for use with the
antilag streaming feature (see above).
Key Frame Interval: Set the keyframe interval.
Stop streaming when encoder queue size is: The Livestream Studio will
terminate streaming if the queue limit (set in frames) is reached.
