    VOD Origin Server Advantages

    Advantage
    Description
    Multi-dimensional cost optimization
    VOD provides media services with strategies such as cold storage and smart bitrate reduction. By optimizing costs in detail according to real-time media playback, it effectively saves storage and distribution costs for users.
    Scenario-based transcoding
    VOD offers superior transcoding capabilities for various industry scenarios. Utilizing technologies like intelligent scene recognition, dynamic encoding, and the CTU/row/frame three-level bitrate precision control model, it achieves higher subjective image quality at a lower bitrate (nearly 50%), realizing high image quality at a low bitrate, and saves network traffic and storage costs.
    Stable storage
    VOD supports backup storage of video files across architectures and devices, and provides cross-region disaster recovery and user resource isolation, greatly enhancing storage stability.
    High-quality upload
    VOD improves data transfer efficiency and stability in poor network conditions through various upload acceleration measures, such as scheduling optimization, global multi-storage park coverage optimization, link supplementation, transmission optimization, and the Quick UDP Internet Connections (QUIC) protocol, improving the upload speed and success rate.
    Copyright protection
    Copyright protection features of VOD include the hotlink protection, ghost watermark, HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) private encryption, and commercial-grade Digital Rights Management (DRM) encryption, providing high-level security for content rights owners.
