Hello @dohee_park, is this what you’re looking for?

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-control-transcoded-video-with-video-encoding-parameters](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-control-transcoded-video-with-video-encoding-parameters)

```
Open the Transcoder template in a text editor and add a <Parameter> section to the <Video>/<Parameters> container in each <Encode> block that you want to modify, as shown in the example below. A single template can have multiple <Encode> blocks (one for each encoded bitrate in the output stream). Then restart Wowza Streaming Engine.
```

You can also set the resolutions in Engine Manager or in the XML with more info here:

Hello @Rose_Power-Wowza_Com!

Thanks for your answer.  
but sorry, what i want to use is only to send info from rtsp client to wowza server using “SET\_PARAMETER” method in RFC2326.

I want to know whether i can change setting for using “set\_parameter” in wowza rtsp server, not how to change resolution… SORRY

I want to know whether Wowza Streaming Engine support “SET\_PARAMETER” method in RFC2326 in rtsp, and if they support that method, how to adopt the function.

thank you!
