How to Stream in HD on SM
Can anyone give me tips on how to Stream in HD on SM? For over a year, I thought this whole time, i was streaming in HD. I configured everything properly on the live encoder but when it comes to actually streaming, I always go to the drop-down menu and select 640x480 and then it'll say HD on my screen. It doesn't look HD but it says it on my feed. Then while in free chat, my bf pointed out that the HD icon isn't active and apparently this whole time I haven't been using HD? I try contacting support but they don't respond anymore. So my question is, to activate HD, do I need to select External Encoding every time and cam directly from the Live Encoder? It seems too much of a hassle since i can't see myself while reading what custies type in chat. i would have to minimize the encoder to 50% and move it in the corner of the screen but the whole set up is annoying. Is this how Im supposed to do it? The cam feed does look so much better in the encoder than it does when I just select 640x480.

you can select HD cam from the drop down menu.
If you really need to use the encoder do the following:
download it directly from the SM model page.
Make sure deinterlace is checked
make sure your input/output settings are set to 640x480 and 12.00 fps

This just started happening today. I have always broadcast in HD 640X480 but for some reason today my profile page is showing a much smaller video, more like 320X240.
I think someone at SM is messing with the settings. I just checked it again and now it's back to 640X480.
