KEEPING YOU INFORMED
The Bitmovin API delivers a single point of control for your entire video workflow, allowing you to develop and optimize every step of the video delivery process.
For online prediction in live streaming applications, selecting low-complexity features is critical to ensure low-latency video streaming without disruptions. For each frame/ video/ video segment, two features, i.e., the average texture energy and the average gradient of the texture energy are determined. A DCT-based energy function is introduced to determine the block-wise texture of each…
Most Video Players are web-based applications, specifically those built on Web SDKs (any others are typically native to a given device) that allow you to stream your video files over the internet. Each Video Player has varying qualities that distinguish them from their counterparts. The Bitmovin Video Player stands out due to its qualities and…
Welcome to our encoding definition and adaptive bitrate guide. This article is for anyone seeking a way into the world of Video Technology and Development, or for those of you looking for a quick refresher on the key terms that define the industry.

This is a comprehensive guide to lossy compression algorithms. In this detailed post, we’ll cover the following topics: An Introduction to Lossy Compression Lossy Compression Ratios & Metrics in Digital Video Perceptual Distortion Peak-Signal-To-Noise Ratio (PSNR) Lossy Compression: the “two” step process Step 1: Quantization Step 2: Transform coding Wavelet Transformation 2D Haar Transform So,…
What is Transcoding? In the context of video – Transcoding refers to the process of compressing video files as much as possible at minimal quality loss to represent (and transfer) information by using less data. Essentially, video transcoding online is the conversion of a video file from one format to a better-compressed version to ensure…
With 2020 coming into full swing – it’s time for Bitmovin and our engineering teams to not only reflect on the past year but also to celebrate the growth of standards in the development industry for the past half-century. December 2019 was a historic month for computing – as it was the official month when…

Welcome back to Bitmovin’s Encoding Excellence series! Our first post covered why video quality metrics matter. The second post provided an “objective” introduction to the top three objective video quality metrics (see what we did there?). The third post in our Encoding Excellence series is an exploration of quality measurement methods (and their limitations) through…
Co- Founder Feature: Happy World Standards Day 2019 – Video Standards Create a Global Stage Today, October 14, 2019, we celebrate the World Standards Day, “the day honors the efforts of the thousands of experts who develop voluntary standards within standards development organizations” (SDOs). Many SDOs such as W3C, IETF, ITU, ISO (incl. JPEG and MPEG) celebrate this with individual statements, highlighting the importance of standards…
