Mounting
Updated onArticlesServ 4K encoders have a 1/4”-20 threaded hole on the bottom for mounting. Additionally, you can install dual mount pro battery plates on your Serv 4K, allowing you to attach your unit to either the back of a camera or monitor. Serv Micro encoders have a 1/4”-20 threaded hole and two M3 threaded holes on the bottom for mounting.

Color Management and Overlay Settings (Serv 4K)
Updated onArticlesServ 4K's Color Management menu lets you manage and apply different looks to incoming video signals using 3D LUT and CDL files saved to your Serv 4K from your computer. You can also link Serv 4K to your LiveGrade account using Serv 4K's web UI.

Video and Audio Settings
Updated onArticles- Video Input (Serv 4K) - Select SDI or HDMI as the source of the video input, or select Auto to automatically detect the type of video input.
- Codec (Serv 4K) - Select either HEVC or H.264 compression formats.
- Resolution - Serv 4K: Maintain the input’s native resolution (Auto), or select one from the list of commonly used resolutions (Common). Serv Micro: Select Auto to maintain the input’s native resolution, or select from the list of commonly used resolutions
- Bitrate Selection - Select your stream’s target bitrate from a list of bitrate figures (List), or manually enter a custom bitrate (Custom). You can also select Auto to automatically match the video input's bitrate. Lower bitrates require less bandwidth and may allow for a more stable stream. Higher bitrates offer better video quality, but require more network bandwidth.
- Colorimetry - Adjust your stream’s color parameters
- Bit Depth: The Bit Depth setting determines how many bits are used for each color component in a video stream. 8-bit color depth is sufficient for most live streaming applications, while 10-bit color depth is required for HDR workflows or other instances where higher color resolution is required. NOTE: 4K inputs will be streamed at Full HD resolution when 10-bit encoding is selected.
- Chroma Subsampling - Chroma Subsampling is a compression method that reduces the color information and file size in a signal in favor of luminance data and decreased bandwidth. 4:2:2 has half of the chroma (intensity) of 4:4:4 video and reduces the bandwidth of an uncompressed video signal by one-third with little to no visual difference. 4:2:0 has one quarter of the chroma of 4:4:4 and reduces bandwidth of an uncompressed video signal by half.
Advanced Settings
- KFI Mode - Select either Key Frame Interval or Group of Pictures mode.
- Key Frame Interval - Adjust the amount of time between full picture refreshes (Key Frame Interval), or the amount of frames (GOP Length).
- Frame Rate Selection - Set the encoder frame rate to the exact figure or a fraction of the input frame rate.
Audio Settings
- Audio Input - Configure the audio input source by selecting Embedded, Analog, or Mixed.
- Bitrate Selection - Select from a list of bitrate figures, or manually enter a custom bitrate.
- OSD Settings - Configure how the time is displayed on your stream. Select either SDI, Stream, or UTC timecodes, or select disable.
- Overlay Settings - Select a file to overlay onto your video stream, then adjust the location of the image.
