What are the characteristics of video encoded on the player?

When encoding video, XDx43, XDx33, and 4Kx42 players utilize H.264 for video and AAC for audio. The default video format is 720p30, and the default bitrate is 6Mbps--but these values can be changed when configuring the encoder.

With firmware versions 6.2.63 and later, the H.264 video is encoded at High profile with B-frames. With earlier versions of firmware, video is encoded at level 4.1 without B-frames.
