24 October 2019 - Ludicrous Mode
Advanced split and stitch processing architecture that processes .ts or .fmp4 outputs in a third of real-time. This effect earned by breaking the source into multiple smaller pieces that processed simultaneously in a distributed fashion, then reassemble the outputs for delivery, all with no impact on output quality.
To enable Ludicrous Mode to media just add <ludicrous_mode>yes<ludicrous_mode/> parameter to request on the level.
