The Fluidcast Platform is compatible with some backend streaming software which allow for “smooth” real time adaptive bitrate flash streaming.

Adpative bitrate flash streaming refers to the ability for a end-user to watch a video and that video automatically change the bitrate of that video without affecting playback.

To the end-user the video never hesitates or stops or buffers but simply continues to play changing constantly the current bitrate “level.”

The Fluidcast encoder allows for multi-bitrate transcoding which deploys videos in various pre-determined bitrates (for example; 500,1000,1500 and 2000kbps) and automatically “chunks” these videos into a playlist which can then be interpreted by the backend streaming software to stream the video smoothly without any buffering or hesitation.
