FVS318N ensuring adequate bandwidth for streaming encoder
Well, I streamed our Sunday service this morning. It should have been in 720p HD, but apparently the encoder automatically dropped down the resolution because of poor bandwidth. I'm running the enc...
Well, all I can say is Whew!!! I had a flawless stream this morning at church. The encoder was provided with the proper constant bandwidth to ensure an HD broadcast. Looks like the things I did that I mentioned in the previous post did the trick! By the way, I also changed the Outbound and Inbound Minimum bandwidth in the Bandwidth Profile to 5000 Kbps. The streaming encoder I'm using is Livestream.com's Broadcaster Pro. I'm putting some large stick-on feet on the bottom of it to ensure there is adequate space under it for ventalation, as it gets hot on the top and bottom. And, we will keep it away from heat sources. I'm considering this problem solved, and I thank DaneA and JohnRo for their assistance.

Hi DonD,
Kindly answer the questions below:
a. Does same problem occur if you try to connect the Livestream Broadcaster Pro Streaming Encoder to one of the available LAN ports of the FSV318N?
b. What is the current firmware version of the FVS318N as well as the GS108E switch/es?

Hi DaneA,
Thanks for your reply!
No I haven't tried the encoder anywhere else yet. Guess I wouldn't think it would matter if I had the switches QoS settings set right and the router's QoS profile set right for the encoder (192.168.0.240).
The router is running firmware version 4.3.3-6 . The GS108EV3 switches are running firmware version 2.00.07 .
Do you think I have the router QoS profile for the encoder setup properly with a minimum of 10000 Kbps and maximum of 15000 Kbps, even though it only needs 5 Kbps? I wonder if I need to lower that minimum to zero?
Thanks,
DonD
Correction on that last comment of mine - the encoder needs 5000 Kbps bandwidth.
I meant to include the "Broadband Advanced Options" screenshot, but posted 2 shots of the "Edit QoS" screen instead. Here it is.
I did some reading in the router manual. Boy, QoS and bandwidth management sure is complicated. Noticed I did not set up a firewall rule to associate with the QoS profile. So, now I have an outgoing and incoming rule both associated to a QoS profile. Is is necessary to setup a QoS profile under "Network Configuration/QoS" and "Security/Services/QoS Profiles"?
