Upload
VOD supports multiple ways to upload media. You can upload from local storage, a URL, or a client. You can also upload media using an API.
VOD allows you to offer recordings (in multiple formats) of live streams on demand. You can upload large files, upload files from breakpoints, and set up multiple backups of your data.
By using different acceleration methods including routing optimization, global multi-region coverage, transfer optimization, protocol optimization, as well as multi-linkage transmission, VOD is able to deliver an industry-leading upload success rate of over 99.5% (upload under poor network conditions and large file upload are taken into account).
Production
VOD provides a wide range of media production features, including frame-by-frame editing, multi-track production, picture-in-picture, cropping, filters, playback speed adjustment, audio mixing, transitions, audio/video separation, animated text/image effects, and shortcut keys, fully meeting your diverse content production needs.
The VOD console offers video production capabilities that allow you to quickly process videos online.
Storage
VOD supports redundant storage across architectures and devices, remote site disaster recovery, and isolated storage.
The smart cold storage feature provides you with more storage options and helps you reduce your storage costs.
Media files can be deleted automatically when they expire, saving storage space and reducing storage costs.
For infrequently accessed videos, you can save only a low-definition version and delete the high-definition versions to reduce your storage costs.
Transcoding
VOD has more than 12,000 distributed transcoding clusters, which can support up to 2,000 concurrent transcoding tasks.
You can add watermarks to videos as needed and set different transcoding formats to flexibly satisfy your needs in different scenarios.
VOD supports various screencapturing operations, including thumbnail, image sprite, and animated image generation, as well as time point screenshots and sampled screenshots. You can use them to generate thumbnail previews and timestamp your videos.
Distribution
With access to Tencent Cloud's over 2,800 CDN cache nodes, VOD provides smooth and accelerated content delivery to users around the globe based on BGP networks and more than 17 ISPs across China.
VOD provides a default playback domain. You can use either the default domain or use a custom domain to deliver your content.
VOD provides a comprehensive CDN usage analysis service. It also allows you to download CDN logs on domain visits.
Media AI
Powered by Tencent Cloud’s leading AI technologies and rich experience in content management, VOD offers media AI capabilities including content moderation, content analysis, and content recognition, helping you minimize manual work.
Content moderation: VOD leverages AI technologies to detect pornographic and other non-compliant content in images, speech, and text. It can detect various types of sensitive information with different levels of strictness to meet your and your customers’ needs, helping you protect your brand image and avoid potential legal risks.
Content analysis: Intelligent categorization, labeling, and thumbnail generation
Content recognition: Face recognition, speech recognition (subtitle generation), OCR, opening and closing segment recognition
Copyright Protection
VOD's hotlink protection, digital watermark, and DRM encryption features provide high-level protection for your content.
Hotlink protection: VOD provides referer and key hotlink protection solutions to prevent your content from being hotlinked or downloaded and spread without authorization. This helps to safeguard your copyrighted content and protect your revenue.
Digital watermarking: VOD offers watermark solutions with high protection levels and low costs to protect your content against piracy. Using a digital watermark, you can extract a user ID from a video to find the user responsible for distributing it without authorization. This deters piracy and enables you to take action against copyright infringement.
DRM encryption: VOD offers an easy-to-use DRM scheme that is built on established DRM solutions and integrates a full range of features including DRM encryption, license management, license distribution, decryption, and playback.
Image Processing
VOD provides easy-to-use and rich-featured real-time image processing capabilities.
You can scale and crop multiple images at a time and distribute them using VOD's acceleration service.
With the help of AI technology, VOD can detect non-compliant content in video images, helping you manage your content more efficiently.
Adaptive Bitrate Streaming
VOD can automatically select the most appropriate bitstream for playback based on user's changing network conditions, guaranteeing a smooth and clear playback experience.
VOD allows you to bind multilingual subtitles to the output file of adaptive bitrate streaming. During playback, users can switch between subtitles of different languages. This feature helps increase cross-border viewer rates.
Top Speed Codec
Leveraging technologies including intelligent scene recognition, dynamic encoding, and CTU/line/frame-level bitrate control, Top Speed Codec transcoding allows you to deliver a better viewing experience and reduce storage and traffic costs by providing higher-definition streaming services at lower bitrates (almost 50% lower on average).
Player
VOD provides a free Player SDK, which is compatible with many mainstream platforms, easy to use, and offers rich features and detailed playback quality data.
The Player SDK is compatible with iOS, Android, web (Flash/HTML5), and Flutter.
The Player SDK supports adaptive bitrate streaming. It can automatically select the optimal bitrate to play based on users' network conditions, delivering a smooth playback experience.
The Player SDK provides various features including instant streaming, pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll images, buffering during playback, playback speed change, video timestamping, on-screen commenting, and subtitles.
The Player SDK supports various security solutions such as hotlink protection, URL authentication, HLS encryption, and private protocol encryption.
The Player SDK uses CDNs to accelerate the delivery of audio/video content and guarantee smooth playback. It also supports the QUIC protocol, which delivers a better quality under poor network conditions.
The playback APIs are simple and can play back media files by file ID.
The Player SDK provides third-party player plugins to play back VOD videos.
The Player SDK supports end-to-end playback quality monitoring using different metrics including playback performance, user behaviors, and file attributes to help you manage your business operations more efficiently.
CSS and VOD
A series of solutions that combine live streaming and VOD are provided based on the unified ecosystem of CSS and VOD.
Live recording: Live streams can be saved to VOD after packaging (without modifying the audio and video data or timestamps). This allows you to archive your live streams, post-process live content, as well as distribute recorded live streams on demand.
Time shifting: After a live stream is started, a viewer can choose a previous time point to start watching and switch back to the latest live content whenever they want to. This feature can be used to replay highlights of live streamed sports events.
Live clipping: You can generate video clips (in HLS format) from an earlier segment of an ongoing live stream so they can be shared or saved for future processing or distribution. This makes it easy to quickly generate highlights during a live stream.
Pseudo-live streaming: This feature allows you to live stream pre-recorded videos at the specified time. You can limit the playback time and sync the playback progress. This helps you reduce compliance risks and save costs. It's often used to stream classes, concerts, and TV shows.
Media Compliance
Content moderation: VOD can intelligently recognize non-compliant content, helping you improve moderation efficiency and reduce the cost of manual moderation.
Media playback blocking: VOD allows you to block the playback of non-compliant videos when they are detected and prevent them from being viewed and shared.
