Encode Ladder
The Fixed Ladder Encoder is a processor component for encoding a single input video stream into multiple encoded renditions. It creates an encoding ladder, where each `rung` represents a different quality level or rendition of the original video, typically varying in resolution and bitrate.
Features
-
Encodes a single video stream into multiple renditions.
-
Supports both software and hardware-accelerated encoding.
-
Configurable encode settings for each rung (resolution, bitrate, codec settings)
-
Supports multiple codec types: H.264, HEVC(H.265)
-
Hardware acceleration support for AMD MA35D, NVIDIA, Quadra, and Logan.
