How does the ABR (Adaptive Bitrate) process work?

Category: FAQ

Released: 2020-09-24

ABR is a term used for the description of streaming technology where multiple variants of video are encoded. Each of the variants has different quality and/or resolution and bitrate. All the variants are described in a protocol-specific playlist, chunked to pieces, and published. An end-consumer is provided with a variant that best suits their connection. BRIDGE LIVE supports the encoding of multiple variants with different video quality by creating multiple output streams out of a single input stream. Other parts of ABR distribution have to be facilitated using an external packager (chunks TS output from transcoder and creates a playlist) or CDN (publishing to the internet).
