Bitmovin Debuts Live Event Encoder At IBC 2022
Bitmovin, a leading provider of video streaming infrastructure, has announced its new Live Event Encoder. The Live Event Encoder optimizes start-up times and provides more efficient encoding workflows for developers to deliver live events in the highest image quality to viewers worldwide.
Bitmovin’s Live Event Encoder addresses the industry need for high-quality live streams by optimizing Live to VOD workflows, ensuring live streams are available for on-demand playback immediately after the stream has ended. It’s also cloud agnostic, running seamlessly in any cloud environment, removing the need for users to be tied into one vendor’s infrastructure to maintain video encoding workflows.
The Live Event Encoder provides developers and live event operations teams with an unrivalled user experience. Its web-based interface means developers can manage live streams from any device and location, and it has a comprehensive API for deep application integrations. It also offers users advanced control and monitoring tools and notification alerts to help pinpoint errors in real-time. It also supports redundant RTMP, SRT, Zixi inputs, and Digital Rights Management for content protection.
Bitmovin has already begun building upon its Per-Title Encoding solution for VOD to optimize the feature for Live streaming, with the aim to add this innovative functionality to the Live Event Encoder. Per-Title for Live will help developers deliver optimum image quality over live bandwidths in a live environment. Per-Title Encoding customizes the bitrate ladder of each video based on the complexity of the video file itself. Its ultimate goal is to select a bitrate that enables the video codec to encapsulate enough information to present the best viewing experience by compressing the data without impacting the viewer’s perceived quality of content.
