Hybrid Encoding Technology

The intelligent foundation of exceptional live video performance.
Talk to an expert See how it works

Beyond standard encoding

Digital video encoding is a foundation of much of today's broadcast and media industry, and is a contributing technology in public safety and other important fields. But encoders are not created equal—choosing the right encoder for your use cases requires careful consideration of operational constraints and architecture trade-offs.

The Hybrid advantage

Exceptional live video picture quality

Hybrid hardware/software encoding dynamically adapts in real-time based on the complexity of the video scene being captured and the network throughput, ensuring optimal performance under any conditions.

Content complexity analysis

Adapts to real-time feedback about the complexity of the content being encoded, such as the amount of motion, scene changes, and visual detail requirements.

Network throughput optimization

Adapts to real-time feedback from Dejero Smart Blending Technology about the blended connection’s throughput capacity and latency characteristics.

Hardware, software, or hybrid?

Many encoding applications are best served by a hybrid architecture which combines the speed and efficiency of hardware with the flexibility, adaptability, and upgradeability of software. Dejero has developed a highly specialized Hybrid Encoding Technology ideally suited for low-latency, live video contribution scenarios.

Hardware encoding
