Encoding
Encoding is the process for preparing content for delivery on the Internet. Once video post-production is complete, the critical phase of compressing the material begins. Real-time encoding ensures the timely delivery of your product.

In order to accommodate a wide Internet audience that is often comprised of a variety of connection speeds, a unique speed detection file is created that relates to a specific range of bit rates (optimized for a range of connection speeds). Like other phases of production, EventStreams combines art and science throughout the encoding process in an effort to achieve the optimum file size, while preserving the visual and audio integrity of the content.

The encoding process must be repeated for each targeted bandwidth.

That means a dial-up modem user will view a lower resolution video and smaller file.

Higher bandwidths, such as DSL or cable, allow higher resolution because the file size can be larger and still be viewable in a timely fashion.
