Popular formats include H.264, which offers a good balance between quality and file size for HD video, and H.265 (HEVC - High Efficiency Video Coding), which is more efficient, allowing for better compression while maintaining high quality, particularly beneficial for 4K streaming.
• Bitrate Control: Bitrate control determines how data is transmitted and affects both video quality and file size. Constant Bitrate (CBR) maintains a fixed bitrate for consistent quality, while Variable Bitrate (VBR) adjusts the bitrate based on the complexity of the video content, optimizing quality and bandwidth usage for a smoother viewing experience.
• Output Protocol: The output protocol specifies the method used to stream or transmit encoded video content. Common output protocols include RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) for live streaming, HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) for adaptive streaming, and MPEG-TS (MPEG Transport Stream) for broadcasting. This versatility ensures compatibility with various streaming platforms and devices, allowing broadcasters to deliver content efficiently to their audience.
• Customization Options: Customization options are vital for headend equipment distributors seeking specific modifications. Typical options include OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) branding, custom logos on devices, and firmware modifications for tailored functionality. Additionally, distributors can request color options, specialized input/output configurations, and custom packaging designs. These options enable distributors to offer solutions that align with their market strategies and customer preferences.
• Supported Languages: Supported languages refer to the multilingual capabilities of the IPTV encoder's user interface.
