A video transcoder is used to convert video from one format to another. The source video can either be real-time or file-based. A typical application for a transcoder is for OTT services where a high quality live or file based source is decoded and re-encoded into a multitude of bit-rates and resolutions for adaptive bit-rate streaming protocols such as HLS and MPEG-DASH. This enables a single video source to be delivered to many different types of viewing devices including TVs, computers, and smartphones.
