  • Optimization of encoding profiles for media streaming
    Patent number: 11979627
    Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed toward creating one or more “dynamic profiles” for media (video) streaming in which an encoding bit rate (and optionally other profile settings) is optimized for particular content. More specifically, techniques involve performing one or more “probe” encodings of the particular content to determine an encoding bit rate (and optionally other profile settings) that results in an encoding having a quality value sufficiently near (within a threshold) a target quality value.

  • METHOD FOR AUDIO AND VIDEO JUST-IN-TIME TRANSCODING WITH COMMAND FRAMES
    Publication number: 20230328313
    Abstract: A method includes: ingesting a video; initializing a timed command stream synchronized to the video; emulating transcoding of the video to derive a sequence of video characteristics of the video; populating the timed command stream with the sequence of video characteristics; segmenting the video into a series of mezzanine segments.

  • Optimal multi-codec ABR ladder design
    Patent number: 11706427
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for the creation of multi-codec encoding profiles (or encoding ladders), which define quality and bitrate for each of the streams made available to clients for streaming a video. In particular, optimization techniques may take into account a quality rate function of each of the codecs when determining the encoding ladder. Additional considerations may include a network bandwidth distribution and/or a distribution of client types.
