# VideoConfiguration
<a name="API_VideoConfiguration"></a>

Object specifying a stream’s video configuration, as set up by the broadcaster (usually in an encoder). This is part of the [IngestConfigurations](API_IngestConfigurations.md) object and the deprecated [IngestConfiguration](API_IngestConfiguration.md) object. It is used for monitoring stream health. 

## Contents

 ** avcLevel **   <a name="ivs-Type-VideoConfiguration-avcLevel"></a>
(Deprecated) Indicates the degree of required decoder performance for a profile. Normally this is set automatically by the encoder. For details, see the H.264 specification. This is populated only when VideoConfiguration is part of the deprecated IngestConfiguration; otherwise, this is an empty string.  
Type: String  
Required: No

 ** avcProfile **   <a name="ivs-Type-VideoConfiguration-avcProfile"></a>
(Deprecated) Indicates to the decoder the requirements for decoding the stream. For definitions of the valid values, see the H.264 specification. This is populated only when VideoConfiguration is part of the deprecated IngestConfiguration; otherwise, this is an empty string.  
Type: String  
Required: No

 ** codec **   <a name="ivs-Type-VideoConfiguration-codec"></a>
Codec used for the video encoding.  
Type: String  
Required: No

 ** encoder **   <a name="ivs-Type-VideoConfiguration-encoder"></a>
Software or hardware used to encode the video.  
Type: String  
Required: No

 ** level **   <a name="ivs-Type-VideoConfiguration-level"></a>
Indicates the degree of required decoder performance for a profile. Normally this is set automatically by the encoder. When an AVC codec is used, this field has the same value as `avcLevel`.  
Type: String  
Required: No

 ** profile **   <a name="ivs-Type-VideoConfiguration-profile"></a>
Indicates to the decoder the requirements for decoding the stream. When an AVC codec is used, this field has the same value as `avcProfile`.  
Type: String  
Required: No

 ** targetBitrate **   <a name="ivs-Type-VideoConfiguration-targetBitrate"></a>
The expected ingest bitrate (bits per second). This is configured in the encoder.  
Type: Long  
Required: No

 ** targetFramerate **   <a name="ivs-Type-VideoConfiguration-targetFramerate"></a>
The expected ingest framerate. This is configured in the encoder.  
Type: Long  
Required: No

 ** track **   <a name="ivs-Type-VideoConfiguration-track"></a>
Name of the video track. If multitrack is not enabled, this is Track0 (the sole track).  
Type: String  
Required: No

 ** videoHeight **   <a name="ivs-Type-VideoConfiguration-videoHeight"></a>
Video-resolution height in pixels.  
Type: Long  
Required: No

 ** videoWidth **   <a name="ivs-Type-VideoConfiguration-videoWidth"></a>
Video-resolution width in pixels.  
Type: Long  
Required: No
