QBR improves upon traditional streaming technologies by allowing video to be played at a quality higher than could normally be sustained by bandwidth available to the viewer. QBR incorporates rapid scene analysis, content characterization, perceptual quality mapping and advanced buffer management techniques.
Streaming companies and service providers utilizing QBR can gain significant benefits, including better video quality, lower streaming costs, and improved network utilization. Bandwidth requirements are reduced by 35% and video artifacts are reduced by 86% as QBR delivers higher image fidelity at fewer bits. As a result, operators can ensure the best possible viewing experience for every viewer.
“QBR has gained industry recognition for its innovation in improving video streaming quality while reducing delivery costs,” said Kumar Subramanian, MediaMelon CEO. “The technology delivers substantial improvements in viewing experience without major changes required to the existing video workflow and is integrated with multiple encoder workflows and media player partners. We are honored by this recognition of achievement in innovation from Video Edge magazine.”
