A Glimpse of Muvi One’s Encoding Profiles Customization Feature

1. Easily Set Up & Control Multiple Encoding Profiles

Setting up encoding profiles is easier than ever with Muvi One. You just need to log in to Muvi One CMS and can define as many encoding profiles as you want. Also, you can set up a default encoding profile to automate the process further. 

So that whenever you add a video/audio to the library, it automatically gets encoded to the default format. Also, you can switch among the defined encoding profiles at any time as per your needs. 

Muvi One customers can create encoding profiles based on their required encoding configuration and can configure upto 8 resolutions, 2 output formats, and also enable/disable DRM for the profile as shown below –

Typically when you as a platform owner upload a 1080p HD video, Muvi One’s Encoding Engine will encode this into multiple formats like 144p, 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p, QHD, and 4K. This is done so that while viewing the video, based on the viewer’s internet speed, the best video resolution is dynamically delivered to the viewers to ensure a buffer-free experience. 

The top advantages or perks of this highlight are –

• Allows for efficient management of storage space and costs
• Enables customization of video/audio quality and playback experience for end-users
• Reduces the overhead to switch between different encoding profiles as needed
• Allows for the use of different DRM encryption settings based on encoding profile
• Permits the selection of multiple resolution and output formats for optimal streaming for diverse audiences

2. Customize Video Encoding

The video encoding requirements can vary depending on your viewers’ platforms, internet connection, and other relevant factors and with this solution you can automate and streamline this process seamlessly. You can define specific resolutions, output formats, and security like DRM (Digital Rights Management) for every video/audio content that you upload. 

For example, you can set a profile, say “X,” with DRM enabled for videos in 1080p and 4K, in both HLS and DASH formats. Add another profile, say “Y” for videos in lower resolutions such as 360p and 720p, and output formats in HLS without enabling DRM.

The top perks of this solution are –

• Allows for tailored viewing experiences for different audiences by providing a range of resolution and format options
• Can save on costs by only encoding necessary formats and resolutions
• Increases security by enabling DRM for specific content
• Provides flexibility to switch encoding profiles based on current needs and audience demand
• Enhances the overall user experience by providing the optimized playback quality

For instance, you can choose a range of output formats like HLS, MPEG DASH, or both for every content you upload as well as can choose a broad range of multiple resolution formats such as 144p, 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p, 2k, and 4K for video content.

4. Minimize Bandwidth, DRM, and Storage Costs

By utilizing Muvi One’s encoding profiles for your video and audio content, not only can you effectively minimize costs associated with bandwidth usage, storage, and delivery, but you also have the flexibility to enable or disable DRM for specific content without compromising on streaming quality. 

This allows for even greater cost savings by reducing unnecessary expenses associated with DRM. Additionally, you can easily monitor and manage all your encoding profiles in one place and make adjustments as needed to ensure optimal performance and cost efficiency.

5. Ensure Optimum Streaming Experience

By creating custom encoding profiles, you can ensure that your streaming platform delivers an optimal viewing experience for your end-users. This can be achieved by carefully selecting the appropriate resolution for different types of content. 

For instance, you may choose a higher resolution for premium content to enhance the viewing experience, while using a lower resolution for free-content to save on bandwidth costs. Additionally, you can also adjust other parameters such as bitrate, frame rate, and codecs to further optimize the streaming quality. This approach allows you to deliver the best possible streaming experience to your audience while also maximizing the efficiency of your platform.
