Benefit | Smart Bandwidth

Optimized Video Quality

Ensures clear and reliable visuals by adapting to network conditions in real-time.

Network Adaptability

Seamlessly adjusts to different networks, including LAN, 4G/5G, and SATCOM.

Most Efficient Bandwidth Usage

Minimizes bandwidth consumption, reducing costs during video calls.

Enhanced Mobile access

Provides consistent, high-quality streams on mobile and weak wireless connections.

Optimizing Quality for Every Client Based on Network Conditions

Smart Bandwidth Management facilitates dynamic bandwidth adjustment by adapting frame and bit rates in audio and video codecs. This leads to bandwidths from 180 kbps for radio and 300 kbps for satellite to 1500 kbps on Wifi and LAN. Essentially, the MCU+ generates optimized quality streams to the connected clients, varying in resolution, bitrate and frame rate, thus always ensuring the best quality for the clients.

Choosing the best quality stream for each user is made possible by harnessing RTCP feedback and Transport Wide Congestion Control (TWCC), guaranteeing peak performance tailored to each user. This approach continuously adjusts to the specific network conditions of every client, ensuring a seamless experience whether they're connected through LAN/WLAN, mobile networks like 3G/4G/5G, or even SATCOM.

We successfully supported a partner in finetuning a satellite-based embedded deployment to accommodate 6 participants and 3 send-only sources with a maximum bandwidth of < 300 kbps.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

We want to simplify your life. In the following you see answers to some questions that might arise.

Is Smart Bandwidth Management beneficial for large-scale deployments?

Absolutely. In large-scale deployments where multiple users or devices are connected simultaneously, Smart Bandwidth Management ensures that each client receives an optimized stream tailored to its specific network conditions. This not only enhances individual user experience but also maintains overall network efficiency and stability.

Can Smart Bandwidth Management help in low-bandwidth environments?

Yes, in low-bandwidth environments, Smart Bandwidth Management is particularly advantageous. By reducing the bitrate and frame rate while maintaining essential quality parameters, it allows for the transmission of media streams that are still usable and effective, even under constrained bandwidth conditions.

What is the primary function of the Eyeson One View MCU in transcoding? The One View MCU is designed to decode all incoming video streams, regardless of codec or resolution. It then composes a single image according to the chosen layout, and finally, encodes this composed image using the selected codec. This process ensures that all interactive endpoints receive a unified stream that includes all sources.

What are the benefits of sending and receiving only one stream per endpoint? By sending just one stream that includes all sources, the One View MCU significantly reduces the bandwidth and processing requirements for each endpoint. This simplifies the communication process, ensures synchronization, and optimizes resource use, especially in environments with multiple interactive participants.
