Quality
What is Per-Title Encoding?
It’s a form of encoding optimization that customizes the bitrate ladder of each video, based on the complexity of the video file itself. The ultimate goal is to select a bitrate that provides enough room for the codec to encapsulate enough information to present a perfect viewing experience, but no more. Another way of thinking about it is that the optimized adaptive package has been reduced down to just the information that viewers can actually enjoy.
Multi-codec
By matching higher performance codecs with compatible devices, you can deliver the best potential QoE for every screen, even with limited bandwidth. Expand your 4K coverage with AV1 and deliver Dolby Vision or multi-HDR with HEVC, while maintaining support for legacy devices.
HDR
Create Dolby Vision, HDR10 and SDR outputs from a single mezzanine file. Create a unified experience across multiple content sources with HLG and HDR10 cross-conversions or up/down conversion to SDR.
Ease of use
The Right Interface for You
The best video platforms are built by teams with a variety of skills and expertise, so we’ve made it easy for anyone to get started. From no-code options like our dashboard UI and Watch Folders to our Simple API and full SDKs, you can get going quickly, with all the tools needed to build fully customized workflows.
Storage and CDN Integrated
Looking to simplify your end-to-end workflow? Bitmovin’s integrated storage and CDN are available as a pre-configured option for hosting and distributing your videos to a global audience. Get the highest quality encoding combined with fast, simple and reliable delivery in a single step.
Innovation
The example above shows the power of Bitmovin 3-pass encoding, reducing bitrates by 30% with no visible loss in quality. Enhanced analysis eliminates outlier, low-quality frames while boosting overall VMAF quality scores without increasing bitrate.
Advanced optimization of encoding around shot boundaries allows for better bitrate distribution and reduces your storage footprint. By removing unnecessary I-frames, playback becomes visually smoother, improving QoE and VMAF quality scores.
