Reusing Existing Content
In general, Daktronics recommends creating new content specifically
for streaming using the correct output resolutions (720p = 720 x 1280
or 1080p = 1080 x 1920).
Depending on the size and aspect ratio of existing display content,
it may be possible to reuse the files for streaming. Otherwise, the
content may still need to be recreated. For example, if you have
a small 132 x 176 display with a 4:3 aspect ratio, streaming its
content will not only cause pixelation due to upscaling, it will also be
stretched to fit the width, giving it more of a squished appearance:
Before
132 x 176 (4:3)
After
720 x 1280 (16:9)

However, if you already have a display with a 16:9 aspect ratio, the
content will better fit the aspect ratio of the streaming output. The
content can still become pixelated, depending on how much it
needs to upscale, but this can work if time or resources are limited
before a scheduled event.
