Adaptive Bitrate Streaming
What is Adaptive Bitrate Streaming?
Adaptive bitrate streaming is a technique for streaming video over the Internet and to mobile networks. Adaptive bitrate streaming measures the real-time bandwidth and CPU capacity of each streaming device and adapts video quality accordingly.
Adaptive bitrate streaming requires a video encoder which can encode a single stream at multiple or variable bitrates. A streaming client switches or adapts the encoded video quality depending on its available bandwidth and CPU capacity, to deliver a good experience for every fixed or mobile network and device.
