Codec Market Cloud Service Launches with AI-Based Encoding
In this episode of our technology series, I speak with Daniel Summer about the launch of Codec Market, which he bills as "the first AI-optimized video cloud acceleration solution, delivering the highest-quality video at lower costs and lower bandwidth utilization."
During our talk, Daniel describes how he uses Netflix's VMAF metric to efficiently and economically produce the ideal convex hull. He also describes pre-processing technology that further improves compression efficiency. We discussed:
• The role of VMAF (Video Multimethod Assessment Fusion) in maintaining high correlation with human perception during video encoding.
• Adaptive pre-processing techniques, including grain management, to improve compression efficiency without compromising video quality.
• The financial and technical benefits of Codec Market's solution for both VOD (Video on Demand) and potential future live streaming applications.
• The integration and effectiveness of various codecs, including H.264, HEVC, VP9, AV1, and LCEVC.
