H56 Error on 1080p/60 with -B #18

I don't know if this is an issue with bmd-streamer or the hardware, but looks like that at 1080p/60 it's unable to work when -B is passed to it, I was seeing mostly "H56 Error. Restarting device.". It is supposed to warn me, or just now allow this? Or is this related to other settings (my full line was /usr/local/bin/bmd-streamer -f /usr/lib/firmware -k 1000 -S hdmi)?

Generally that means that the encoder did not like given parameters. I wonder if there's some limitations on the encoder that with the 1080p modes certain options are not allowed due to cpu/dsp performance reasons or similar.
