LIVE Encoder/Transcoder

TotalMedia Live is a real-time transcoding and streaming solution serving a wide range of clients including TV Stations, IPTV providers, OTT platforms, Cable Networks, Telecom operators, ISPs, and Enterprise. It supports a wide range of video codecs including MPEG 2, H.264, H.265, as well as SMPTE-2110 and NDI signals as inputs, enabling transcoding of SD, HD, 4K, and even 8K. It seamlessly delivers output formats such as TS Over UDP, HLS, RTMP, RTP, SRT, NDI and broadcasts content to various terminals including Set Top Boxes, Smart TVs, Computers, Tablets, Mobile Phones and Outdoor Screens.

It also incorporates Al-powered video quality enhancement features such as super resolution, frame interpolation, fog removal, and SDR/HDR conversion. It also provides pre-processing capabilities for tasks like block removal, noise removal, and color tuning, delivering a one-stop solution for live broadcasting needs.

FILE Based Transcoder

TotalMedia File transcoding solution offers robust performance and leverages AI-enhanced video processing capabilities. With GPU acceleration, it delivers high-speed transcoding, supports a wide range of file formats, reduces video bandwidth, and enables automatic batch transcoding. The solution incorporates advanced deep learning video enhancement algorithms, including super resolution, intelligent frame interpolation, frame rate conversion, video quality enhancement, HDR conversion, and video restoration, enhancing the overall video transcoding quality and production efficiency.

Utilizing intelligent video file slicing based on the cluster configuration, the transcoding and processing tasks are executed concurrently, resulting in completed hours of video content within minutes.

AI 2D to 3D, 3D Encoding

Monocular → Swin Transformer Based Depth Generation → Parrallax → Occlusion Content → Binocular

3D Encoding:

1. Multiple 3D Formats

   Side-By-Side, Red-Cyan, MVC(H264 Multiview extension), MV-HEVC （H265 Multiview extension）

2. Cross-View reference, 10~20% compression efficiency improvement

3. Depth-aware perceptual encoding, 20% compression efficiency improvement

The MV-HEVC codec is the ideal choice for converting 2D content to 3D, specifically optimized for Apple Vision Pro.  Available Q3 2024.
