The Thepointofsale.com broadcasting service allows you to broadcast your virtual event video at 30 FPS (frames per second).
Before broadcasting, you will need to determine the video resolution to broadcast.
To help you make the decision that best suits your needs, here is a brief guide that explains the differences between the two resolutions available to you.
Important!
These values correspond to the maximum resolution of the video being streamed.
For slow connections, our tool will automatically adjust the video quality to a lower resolution to optimize the viewing experience.
720p
A 720p screen displays an image with 1,280 columns by 720 rows of pixels, hence the name 720p. Multiplying these numbers gives a total of 921,600 pixels. This is the minimum resolution referred to as ‘high definition’ (HD).
Pros of 720p
This resolution offers a good compromise for most virtual events and allows you to stream video of sufficient quality with reduced bandwidth consumption.
Cons of 720p
This resolution is less suitable for virtual events requiring high visual effects and high production quality.
1080p
A 1080p screen displays an image of 1,920 columns by 1,080 rows of pixels, hence the name 1080p. Multiplying these numbers yields a total of 2,073,600 pixels – more than double the 720p count.
This resolution, also known as Full HD, is the industry standard for high-definition screens. What's more, most content created nowadays is produced and distributed in 1080p.
Pros of 1080p
1080p delivers optimal visual clarity for broadcasting large-scale virtual events that demand high image quality and meticulous production.
Cons of 1080p
Since 1080p image quality is superior to 720p, storage space and bandwidth requirements are greater.
1080p is less inclusive for attendees viewing on devices with lower processing power or slower network connections, as they may experience latency that reduces their viewing experience.
