As a part of Bitmovin LIVE: APAC Edition 2020, we were joined by valued partner, Teleport Media. During Teleport Media's presentation, CEO, Andrey Klimenk discussed the most effective methods to reducing costs and maintaining visual quality.
When it comes to LIVE and VOD streaming at scale, this is where the size really matters. Using sophisticated encoding could reduce your video library size by 40%. At the same time, using a simple JS plugin to Bitmovin video player allows reducing the price of each GB delivered by 50%. Both dramatically reduce your CDN bills and the cost of in-house storage and delivery! This allows you to grow your business and profits, and to keep the highest quality of streaming during the major traffic spike, up to millions of concurrent viewers. It all results in revenue increase because your viewers won’t be lost!
Teleport Media and Bitmovin combine these advanced technologies to let you provide a truly impressive viewing experience.

How to provide better visual quality of LIVE & VOD content and decrease your costs by half
1. Welcome to the webinar
“How to provide better visual quality of
Live & VOD content and decrease your
costs by half”
2. This webinar is for
OTT video providers with in-house or 3-party or multi vendor
encoding / storage / delivery infrastructure, willing to
Decrease the total cost of storage and delivery
Improve visual quality and user experience
Maintain best playback quality during traffic spikes
Introduce new higher resolutions without ruining the profit
4. Bitmovin
Bitmovin powers the world's largest OTT online video providers
with video developer tools, built by industry experts.
With Bitmovin's Encoding, Player and Analytics products,
redefine the viewer experience, while drastically lowering
streaming costs.
5. Teleport Media
Teleport Media is the solution for online TV and VOD services
that are looking for a cost-effective and scalable CDN.
It is a smart and secure Peer-2-Peer CDN that lets your viewers’
devices restream video to each other.
6. Key drivers of video streaming costs
The bigger the files and the more titles you have, the bigger storage is required
Higher resolution leads to higher file size.
The traffic on the CDN is equal to number of viewers multiplied by file size.
The bigger the file size, the less concurrent viewers you can have with a certain
CDN bandwidth.
Each video is a file of a certain size:
7. The answer is very simple
Reduce the size of files & reduce the cost of a traffic delivery*
* without sacrificing the visual quality
8. Per-title encoding
“Not too hot, not too cold, just right”
No two pieces of content are the same, why
encode them the same?
Bitrate too high - wasteful (especially CDN,
storage)
Bitrate too low - visual artifacts, viewers less
engaged, churn and market share loss
9. Per-title encoding
Complexity analysis built-in during encoding
step
Bitrate ladder boundaries fully configurable
by user:
❑ Upper limit for highest bitrate
❑ Lower limit for lowest bitrate
❑ Number of renditions
❑ Step sizes between renditions
(SD, HD, UHD)
12. Per-title encoding
Optimize bitrate ladder for every single title to
maximize QoE
Compute a special purpose bitrate ladder
based on complexity analysis
Use bitrate to encode content in a quality that
viewers can actually enjoy, but not more!
Improve quality, and reduce bitrate for less
complex content
