Is there a way to change the bitrate of the recorded iso files? I can't seem to find a way. Currently, they are around 70mb/s if I am not mistaken. The project is a reality show with around 30 cameras and the data rates are around 350GB per day. This is kind of hard for the team to handle considering the fact that the show runs for a month. Do you have any insights on how we can solve this issue?

Hi Milen,
I am not sure what you are trying to achieve here as these sorts of file sizes go with the territory. I have just finished a 2+ hour event with 4 cameras and 4 video sources with 213GB just for the ISO files, without adding the camera original files shot at 4K Raw. Another 45 minute shoot recently was 79GB.
If you are getting 350Gb for a full day with 30 cameras I am actually confused. I would expect very low quality video at that rate, yet quality isn't troubling you - file size is. The question you need to resolve first is what you are willing to trade off - file size versus quality versus speed particularly but there will also be tech and storage questions that you will have to balance out. The ISO files are 1080 mp4 so you are already dealing with a significantly smaller file size than 4K raw from cameras.
