Novus Stream Tools

What it is

The Tools portal is designed for on-the-fly work: bitrate and bandwidth math, stream health diagnostics, and organizing scenes and assets before you build them in OBS, Streamlabs, or similar software. Everything runs in a modern browser with instant load times.

The portfolio spans a broad library of calculators, copy/paste-ready assets, and downloadable resources—built for both business and personal streaming workflows.

Bitrate & bandwidth calculator

Before you go live, understanding your network limits is critical. Enter your upload speed (Mbps), choose target resolution (for example 1080p or 720p), and select framerate (30 or 60 fps). The tool outputs recommended bitrate ranges, audio bitrate guidance, and warns when settings may exceed what your connection or hardware can sustain.

The underlying encoding math applies across platforms. Where platforms differ (for example Twitch vs. YouTube caps), use the relevant toggles or presets so your targets stay within each platform’s limits.

Stream health diagnostics

When frames drop or the stream stutters, paste recent broadcast or encoder logs into the analyzer. The utility highlights whether issues look like network drops versus rendering or encoding lag, so you can tell an ISP problem from a GPU or CPU bottleneck.

Scene & asset organizer

Map overlays, stingers, and audio files before you wire them into your streaming app. Planning scenes and filenames up front reduces last-minute scrambling during a live show.

Accounts & access

Core calculators and diagnostic tools are built for immediate access in the browser. Saving certain configurations may require an account; check in-app prompts for what persists across sessions.

• Use a hardware-accelerated browser where possible for consistent performance.
• If a tool fails to load, disable aggressive script blockers for the Tools domain—utilities rely on lightweight client-side JavaScript.
