About

Substantial savings with iSIZE BitSave on AWS, $176 per hour for every 5,000 viewers. iSIZE specializes in deep learning for video delivery and has developed a deep perceptual ‘precoder’, a software solution that uses AI-trained to “see with the human eye” in order to optimize visual quality in order to save video bitrate during encoding. Its flagship product, BitSave, available both as a SaaS platform at bitsave.tech and for on-premise use, reduces encoding bitrates by up to 40% without compromising perceptual video quality. The technology is deployed as an add-on feature to conventional video encoding pipelines (AVC, HEVC, and AV1), without requiring any changes in the streaming process or the client devices. This results in substantial bandwidth, energy, and cost savings for VoD and live streaming services, broadcasters, and end consumers. You can see a presentation about our work in the AOMedia Research Forum and read one of our first preprints.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Quality conversion from European videos to North American broadcast formats without speeding or slowing the source. Keeps the included closed captions in sync. You can also do the reverse. Change of speed is applied also to the sound (25 to 23,976, 24 to 25fps...), absolutely great. It can also upscale your content, but no AI to improve the picture. It is not the strength of this software. But for regular broadcast works, it keeps the quality of the picture when your source is film content. Also very good results when video sources (interlaced) are used.

Cons

  • It takes some times to find the correct parameters. Render process is quite slow (90 minutes movie may take 4 to 5 hours, depending on your hardware). Created for broadcast users. Pricey.
