Media Processing Service (MPS) is a cloud-based multimedia transcoding and processing service capable of handling vast amounts of data. You can use it to transcode your videos stored in the cloud to make them suitable for OTT services or playback on PC and mobile devices. You can also transcode videos to different bitrates and resolutions for different platforms. Other services MPS offers include watermarking, video screenshot, smart thumbnail generation, smart editing, etc.
Video bitrate is the number of data bits transferred per unit time. It is often measured in Kbps, or kilobits per second.
Bitrate (Kbps) = File size (KB) × 8 ÷ Transfer time (s)
TESHD is a process where videos are processed to reduce bandwidth usage while retaining or improving video quality. It allows you to deliver higher-definition videos to your users with less bandwidth usage.
MPS offers video processing services such as on-cloud transcoding, watermarking, thumbnail generation, and smart editing. It does not offer decoding services.
