MBR (Multi-bitrate)

Multi Bitrate or MBR is a single stream available with multiple bitrates. With MBR, you need to encode and configure multiple streams of your content at multiple bitrates and broadcast them to your chosen CDN. End users have the choice to select the bitrate of their preference from the available bitrates (i.e.144p, 240p, 480p, 720p, and so on). The content will be continued to play on the bitrate which the user has selected, irrespective of the internet connection or bandwidth speed of the user. Also with live streaming services that support Multi-Bitrate, your audience can select a suitable bitrate for their connection, delivering a high-quality experience without buffering or lag.

MBR ensures that your content reaches viewers with varying internet speeds, offering flexibility and enhanced viewing experiences. By configuring multiple streams at different bitrates, live video streaming platforms allow users to select the most appropriate stream based on their internet connection, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted broadcast. This is particularly important in live video streaming, where delivering real-time content without delays or buffering can significantly enhance viewer engagement and satisfaction
