Video Encoding: An Essential Tool in the Digital Era

Video encoding is an underlying core technology for compressing video files’ digital information. It aims to save transmission and storage bandwidth while keeping the video’s subjective quality. With the emergence and rapid development of 4K/8K video as well as the pressure on network bandwidth, encoding technology has become a key research area for most internet companies.
