Capabilities of accelerated uploads

Capabilities
Description

High-speed uploads

Leverage advanced technology to accelerate the upload process, reducing the time it takes to get your videos online. This ensures that your content is available to your audience as quickly as possible.

Lower storage costs

With offline transcoding, you have to save the transcoding outputs in your own storage. JIT transcoding does not take up your storage space and therefore can significantly reduce your storage costs.

Easy to use

You can set up Just-In-Time encoding without needing to write any code.

Use Cases of Accelerated Uploads

Use Cases
Description

News agencies

Quickly upload breaking news videos to ensure timely dissemination of information. This helps news agencies stay ahead of the competition and keep their audience informed with the latest updates.  

User-generated content platforms (UGC)

Essential for gamers who stream their gameplay live. The high-quality, low-latency streaming is essential for competitive gaming and live commentary, providing a superior experience for your audience.    

Just-in-time encoding

Just-In-Time encoding (JIT) is a method where video content is encoded and packaged almost real-time, just before delivery to the viewer. Unlike traditional encoding, where videos are pre-encoded into various formats and stored on server, JIT encoding processes the video content only when the first viewer requests the video. This way, the viewer can playback instantly after upload. Henceforth, for succeeding viewers, the playback happens from the previously encoded video.

Read More

Capabilities of Just-in-time encoding 

Capabilities
Description

Fast playback

Unlike offline transcoding, which has a waiting time, Just-In-Time encoding allows playback of encoded videos only a few seconds or even a few milliseconds after they are requested, regardless of the video duration.

Lower storage costs

With offline transcoding, you have to save the transcoding outputs in your own storage. JIT transcoding does not take up your storage space and therefore can significantly reduce your storage costs.

Easy to use

You can set up Just-In-Time encoding without needing to write any code.

Use cases of Just-in-time encoding

Use Cases
Description

Long-form videos

Generating and saving transcoding outputs for long-form videos drives up your storage usage notably. For example, if you transcode an MP4 video to 720p, 1080p, and 2K in HLS format, you will need to store three more files in addition to the original file. However, with JIT transcoding, you only need to save the original file. This greatly cuts down your storage costs.

TV stations and OTT

TV stations and OTT services may need to edit their content constantly. By using JIT transcoding, you only need to keep an MP4 copy of your content's latest version while still being able to deliver transcoded and packaged content immediately after it is requested.  

UGC

UGC platforms host a large number of videos, over 90% of which are infrequently accessed. JIT transcoding allows you to transcode your videos only when they are requested, helping you save storage costs.

Context-Aware Encoding

Context-Aware Encoding, also known as per-title encoding, is a feature in video streaming APIs that optimizes the encoding process based on the specific characteristics of each video. This ensures the best possible quality and efficiency for video playback, enhancing the overall viewing experience.

Read More
