Advantages of Multiplatform Video Processing
In the realm of online videos, such as with Hulu, Youtube, Netflix and other video based services, there is more that goes on behind the scenes than most people think. There is more of a technical side of the process that takes place that delivers video content from a server to the final output source, like your tv, mobile device, or computer screen. There is a process that goes on to make sure that the video is displayed correctly, is at the right scale and resolution for the screen. There are ways to be able to get the same video to be displayed on multiple types of screens and formats. This is called Multiplatform Video Processing.
But are there any advantages to multiplatform video processing, and what are they? Well, we can take a look at some of them and you can see for yourself why multi platform video processing is a good thing for a company to be able to have for displaying their online video streams.
First, you have the advantage of delivering more video stream to a screen, any screen, all at once and at any time as well. This all can be done with just one single system. This can be an incredible advantage, especially in terms of cost and maintenance. This kind of service, a a massively parallel architecture is used to achieve high-density transcoding. This type of service offers greater outputs, while reducing the need for a lot of hardware when multiple encoding platforms are needed.
A service that uses Multiplatform Video Processing can generate assets for adaptive bit rate protocols. These can include Apple HTTP Adaptive Streaming for the iPhone/iTouch series, Smooth Streaming for Microsoft Silverlight, and Dynamic Streaming for Adobe Flash. A Multiplatform Video Processing server can deliver support for digital content delivery systems and compatibility with seamless integration into a broadcast work-flow with third-party automation and play out equipment.
Using GPU-based video processing, a multiplatform video processing server can deliver the highest quality encoding with cutting edge codecs for the GPU. GPU processing can reduce the system’s overhead, which ends up enabling a maximum video throughput. With custom algorithms, compute intensive tasks are made simpler to run on the GPU. THis includes scene change detection, MPEG-2 deblocking, motion adaptive deinterlacing, lanczos scaling, noise reduction, and temporal filtering.
At full capacity, multiplatform servers are able to output many independent HD files, or 32 mobile video files in faster than real time. Each of these are formatted for a number of target devices. One particular system is designed to accommodate many different inputs and convert and output a variety of files at different resolutions and bit rates for a multi platform delivery.
With an intuitive user interface and simplified command and control, a web-based interface will allow an operator to be able to deploy the Multiplatform Video Processing server immediately. A full system control as well as easy integration into existing work flows are all given to an operator for the most common and popular output formats and RES/XML APIs.
