Streaming Platform transcodes multi-stream broadcast in high definition, making it adaptive for any internet connection and particular user’s device.
This is a very demanding process, especially during the broadcast. Therefore, we use our own powerful media servers for stream transcoding.
You just need to send a signal to our network, and the video stream will be available on any device anywhere in the world without delays and buffering in any resolution.
We will protect your content from copying piracy by embedding the logo into the picture at the transcoding stage.
Each step takes a certain amount of time. But our powerful servers handle the task almost instantly. And the video is delivered to any device with Low Latency or Ultra Low Latency.
Transcoding changes the video format and quality. This is necessary so that all your users can watch the broadcast on any device—from Smart TV to a mobile phone—and with any internet connection, such as home Wi-Fi and unstable mobile internet.
Different devices support different transfer protocols. Transcoding means you don’t have to make separate broadcasts for each type of device. You download a video in a format convenient for you, and the stream is converted and delivered to all devices.
Also, if you are streaming in 4K, some smartphones and PCs may not support such a high quality. For such devices, the quality is downgraded.
Transcoding is used for adaptive bitrate—changing the video quality in accordance with the speed of the internet connection. Several streams are created on the server with different speeds (bitrates) in different qualities. The player in the browser receives all these streams, estimates the speed of the internet connection, and selects the appropriate one.
With a good, stable connection, the video will be available to the user in the highest quality. And if the bandwidth is lower, the video quality will be downgraded.
