Multimediacart supports 16K video.  Converting and transcoding MP4 videos into 16K HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) and MPEG-DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) formats involves several technical steps. Here's an overview of the process:

 

1. Preparing the Source Video

  • Input Format: Start with a high-quality MP4 file encoded with a codec like H.264 or H.265 (HEVC).

  • Resolution: Ensure the source video is of sufficient quality to upscale to 16K (15360 × 8640 pixels). This requires significant computational power and storage. The video on this page is a 12K video, streamed from YouTube.

 

2. Transcoding the Video

  • Tools: Use software like FFmpeg or MP4Box (part of the GPAC framework) for transcoding.

  • Bitrate Ladder: Create multiple versions of the video at different resolutions and bitrates (e.g., 16K, 8K, 4K, 1080p). This ensures adaptive streaming for various network conditions.

  • Encoding: Encode each version using efficient codecs like H.265 for better compression at high resolutions.

 

3. Segmenting the Video

  • HLS: Break the video into small chunks (e.g., 2-10 seconds each) and generate an .m3u8 playlist file. This allows adaptive streaming by switching between chunks of different bitrates.

  • MPEG-DASH: Similarly, segment the video and create an .mpd manifest file. This file contains metadata about the segments and their resolutions.

 

4. Generating Metadata

  • HLS: The .m3u8 playlist specifies the sequence of video chunks and their respective bitrates.

  • MPEG-DASH: The .mpd manifest includes adaptation sets for video and audio streams, enabling seamless switching between resolutions.

 

5. Testing and Optimization

  • Validation: Use tools to verify the integrity of the HLS and MPEG-DASH files.

  • Optimization: Ensure smooth playback by testing on various devices and network conditions.

 

6. Hosting and Delivery

  • Content Delivery Network (CDN): Host the segmented files and playlists on a CDN for efficient global delivery.

  • Streaming: Ensure compatibility with HLS and MPEG-DASH players. or S.

 

This process ensures that your video is ready for adaptive streaming, providing a high-quality experience for viewers across different devices and network conditions.
