Overview
Adaptive bitrate streaming (ABR streaming) involves creating audio/video files with various bitrates. After using adaptive bitrate streaming, a player can dynamically select and play back the most appropriate bitrate based on the viewer’s current bandwidth. VOD can convert videos to mainstream adaptive bitrate streaming formats such as HLS and DASH.
Capability
Description
Supported formats
HLS and DASH.
Ultra fast start
An adaptive bitrate stream contains multiple resolutions. The player generally starts playback at a low resolution to help playback start faster.
Smart resolution switch
The player dynamically selects the most appropriate resolution for playback based on the current bandwidth.
Zero-lag switch
The frames of each stream are aligned, ensuring zero-lag when switching between streams with different resolutions.
High video/audio quality
Up to 8K FHD resolution is supported.
Stereo is supported.
HDR is supported.
Advanced encoding technologies
You can use advanced encoding formats such as H.265, H.266, and AV1 and Top Speed Codec transcoding to reduce the video bitrate.
Encryption and DRM
Supports applying both SimpleAES encryption and Multi-DRM encryption simultaneously during adaptive transcoding of videos, with support for Widevine and FairPlay.
With Multi-DRM, content needs to be transcoded and encrypted only once to produce a single video stream that can adapt to the encryption protocols of multiple hardware platforms.
Note: 
 Differences between adaptive bitrate streaming and transcoding:
An adaptive bitrate streaming URL contains outputs in multiple resolutions, while a transcoding URL contains an output in only one resolution.
With adaptive bitrate streaming, the player switches to the optimal resolution in real time based on current network conditions. Transcoding outputs do not support intelligent resolution switch.
Use Cases
Use Case
Description
Online education
In online scenarios such as academic education and training courses, videos usually need encryption or DRM for copyright protection to prevent unauthorized screen recording and copying.
Video website
Video websites have rich video resources, and adaptive bitrate streaming can deliver a smoother viewing experience.
Online TV
Online TV platforms may need to protect their resources. In addition, viewers may want to switch to a higher resolution while watching a video.
How to Use
For detailed directions on how to use the feature, see Transcoding to Adaptive Bitrate Streaming.
