At Broadcast Asia 2024, VisualOn will unveil its Optimizer suite, a collection of advanced encoding solutions designed to meet the growing demands of video streaming. The suite includes Optimizer (Fidelity), Optimizer VOD, and Optimizer Live, each offering significant bitrate reductions without compromising visual quality.
Optimizer Suite Details
The Optimizer framework, which won the NAB 2024 Product of the Year Award for Streaming, uses content-aware encoding to efficiently reduce bitrates. By leveraging machine learning for encoder parameter prediction and real-time scene analysis, it achieves up to a 70% reduction in bitrate.
Optimizer (Fidelity) is a transcoding solution that reduces storage requirements by up to 80% while preserving visually lossless quality and optimizing server-to-server transfer efficiency. Optimizer VOD, an AI-enhanced universal content-aware encoding solution for VOD streaming, delivers over 54% bitrate reduction without compromising visual quality and supports efficient multi-ABR ladder transcoding.
Live Streaming Capabilities
Optimizer Live is tailored for live streaming, achieving up to a 60% bitrate savings while maintaining exceptional visual quality and minimizing latency. These capabilities are crucial as the demand for high-quality live content continues to grow.
The Optimizer suite seamlessly integrates with the FFmpeg framework and supports various encoder technologies, including NVIDIA’s GPU-accelerated encoders, NETINT’s ASIC encoders, and popular open-source encoders like x264, x265, and SVT-AV1. This compatibility ensures that broadcasters can choose the best tools for their specific needs.
Benefits of Optimizer Suite
The suite delivers substantial bitrate reductions while maintaining or enhancing visual quality, leading to cost savings and superior streaming performance. These advancements are particularly important as video streaming demands continue to surge.
Broadcasters can explore these solutions firsthand at VisualOn’s exhibit space in the Benchmark Broadcast booth 6D4-7 during Broadcast Asia 2024.
