I found a video on the forums from SDK 0.9 that shows how to change voxl-streamer from 720p to 4K. This video also showed changes to the bitrate and decimation. I am running SDK 1.3+ on a Sentinel and would like to similarly change resolutions. I see in the new SDK documentation that bitrate is ignored at least. Is changing the resolution the same procedure as described in the video? Will bitrate still be ignored if I adjust the resolution? Need I adjust the decimation?

@groupo , can you please provide some more details:
- are you using `voxl-streamer` to stream an h264 / h265 encoded stream (generated by `voxl-camera-server`) or is `voxl-streamer` consuming raw frames (raw8 or yuv) and encoding them to h264 / h265? If the input to `voxl-streamer` is not encoded, then voxl-streamer will encode them (using hardware video encoder)
- voxl-streamer is not set up to resize the image, so the image size is defined by the source that is providing the images or encoded video stream (most likely `voxl-camera-server`).
- you can modify your `/etc/modalai/voxl-camera-server.conf` to change the resolution of the stream that you are feeding into `voxl-streamer` (such as preview, small_video, large_video, etc) and that should automatically be reflected in the resolution that `voxl-streamer` outputs.

Feel free to provide more specific details about which exact stream (name) you are feeding into `voxl-streamaer` or let me know if you have any other questions.
