Abstract:

Systems and methods for transmitting content are provided. In some aspects, a method includes receiving an indication of a plurality of input streams of content. Each input stream is associated with an input bit rate. The method includes determining a plurality of output bit rates at which to transmit the content to one or more client devices, comparing the plurality of input bit rates to the plurality of output bit rates, and generating, by a server, a plurality of output streams of the content based on the comparison. Each generated output stream is associated with a corresponding output bit rate and includes a transcoded input stream or a non-transcoded input stream. The plurality of output streams is generated such that a number of output streams comprising non-transcoded input streams is maximized. The method also includes transmitting the generated output streams to the one or more client devices.
