Optimizing Content Item Compression for Adaptive Bitrate Streaming by Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) Providers

原文（中国語）

Systems and methods are disclosed for generating an adaptive bitrate ladder for a content item based on the actual quality of the content item. A broadcaster determines a quality score of a content item and multiplexes a message indicating the quality score with data packets of the content item to a headend. The headend uses the quality score to determine an ABR ladder with a set of bitrates for the content item. The headend then transcodes the content item into the set of bitrates. The headend then transmits a plurality of network addresses, each corresponding to a stream at a particular bitrate, to a user gateway to enable the user gateway to make the streams available.
