Tech Paper 2022: This paper explores Dynamic Resolution Encoding (DRE) to improve video quality, reduce bandwidth, and support both legacy and new codecs in broadcast and streaming applications.
Abstract
In 2015, Netflix introduced Per-Title Encoding Optimization, defining the best resolution for a title at a given bitrate. Since then, Netflix has improved its algorithms to make the technique more dynamic through scenes and has deployed it for VOD applications to enhance bandwidth use and video quality. Thanks to recent developments in AI, Dynamic Resolution Encoding (DRE) can now be applied to live applications with very limited extra CPU consumption.
