CSS started offering the AV1 encoding and audio/video enhancement features for a fee at 00:00 on June 1, 2022.
Using the features may incur standard transcoding, top speed codec transcoding, and audio/video enhancement fees.

New Features

AV1 codec

AV1 is an open, royalty-free video codec designed for video transmissions over the internet by the Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia).
It can transfer 1080p (1920 x 1080) video at 1-2 Mbps.
It has 40% improved compression efficiency over H.264, which means you can save your CDN costs by 40% without compromising the playback experience.
It is royalty-free and is supported by more browsers than H.265 (AV1 is supported by 75% of browsers on the market, including Chrome).
Because both the AV1 and WebRTC technologies originated from Google, the two technologies work well together. You can use Tencent Cloud’s LEB product together with the AV1 encoding feature to deliver low-latency and high-quality streaming experience at lower CDN costs.

Audio/Video enhancement

Based on our image restoration and enhancement modules and AI algorithms, we offer video quality enhancement capabilities including super-resolution reconstruction, smart frame interpolation, HDR enhancement, image noise removal, outline restoration, and other audio/video enhancement features.

How to Use the Features

AV1 codec

To use the AV1 codec, just set the codec for your transcoding template to AV1. For details, see Live Transcoding.

Audio/Video enhancement

Please contact your sales rep or contact Customer Service to enable the audio/video enhancement feature.

Pricing

For billing details about the value-added service of live transcoding, see Live Transcoding (Watermarking, Stream Mixing).
