The Clipstream™ Video 3 Encoder uses a dynamic bitrate codec that reduces file size while maintaining high fidelity when needed.

Like Clipstream™ Video 2, the version 3 Encoder will output several different bitrates targetted at the different bandwidths viewers might have. In version 2, each bitrate file had a constant bitrate meaning that it maintained the same fidelity regardless of the content. Scenes that contained very little action still had the same bitrate as scenes that contained high motion, detail and color.

In Clipstream™ Video 3 the Encoder reduces file size by dynamically adjusting the bitrate based upon the type of content. A scene that has very little motion, for example, will be encoded with a lower bitrate which then is raised if the scene changes to one with action and more detail.
