Frequently asked questions

What is video encoding?

Video encoding is the process of compressing and preparing your video files for the proper formats and specifications required for playback. Video encoding compresses your video files without compromising quality. With encoded videos, the gigabytes of data become mere megabytes. And your content becomes compatible with many devices and platforms. Harmonic has led the industry for video encoding, and we developed patented technology for content-aware encoding.
