Wirecast Pro 4 adds:
We review your streaming video production and encoding workflow to ensure that you’re efficiently producing the highest possible video quality at the optimal resolution and data rate.
To produce the best possible streaming video quality, you have to know:
Which camera settings to use
Which sequence settings to use during editing
Which codec to use
Which encoding tool produces the best quality for that codec
Which output settings to use (resolution, frame rate, audio and video bitrates)
Which encoding parameters (VBR vs. CBR, profile and level, entropy encoding technique, key frame interval, B-frame interval)
Very few companies have experience in all these areas, and finding one resource knowledable in all these areas is challenging. We can look at all these variables and tell you where you can improve quality and/or streamline your production workflow.
