Thanks to the technology today that it has met our needs with its revolutionary innovations. Live transcoding is one of the examples that is used for conversion of one type of encoded data i.e. video or audio to another to make it compatible for a target device for its display with its smaller size.
How does it work?
Well, the process consists of two basic steps i.e. first the target data is converted into the intermediate uncompressed format and then encoded into the targeted format. free rtmp server Through transrating, the data’s bitrate is changed e.g. converting 7Mbps to 3Mps to enable the video or audio accumulating less storage or being broadcasted using a lower bandwidth connection. Another way is transsizing in which the video frame is resized e.g. bringing 4K resolution to 1080p. Among all methods, the lossless-to-lossless type is the best for converting large and archived media files to new formats without losing quality while the lossless-to-lossy method is the best for causing less quality loss and delivering compatible content to portable devices.
There are several ways to get the benefits of this method such as through software on your PC or laptop, SaaS platform, or a dedicated media server. However, it performs well when your system’s RAM is sufficient enough, high-quality graphics source, and high-end CPU.
