Overview

Encode the input (raw) video frames, and output an encoded stream.

Inputs & Outputs

Inputs : 1, Media Format : Raw Video
Outputs : 1, Media Format: Encoded Video
Output Metadata : None

Pipeline usage

Place Encode after every node that needs raw pixels and immediately before nodes that require encoded video, such as RTMP, RTSP, or WebRTC output. H.264 is the safest default for compatibility.

Properties

Property	Description	Type	Default	Required
`codec`	Codec. Options: H.264 (`h264`)	`enum`	`h264`	Yes
`bitrate`	Target encoding bitrate in kbits/second. Range: minimum `100`, maximum `10000`. Unit: kbps.	`number`	`1024`	No

Output Metadata

Node does not insert any output metadata; upstream metadata continues through the pipeline
