Beamr CABR outputs can be tested at no additional cost with a watermark. Additional per GB and license fee apply to Beamr CABR encoding for production workflows.
Beamr CABR Encoding
Content-Adaptive Bitrate (CABR) encoding technology from industry leader Beamr to stream video with the highest possible picture quality and up to 50% fewer bits, resulting in smaller file
sizes, more satisfied customers, and lower CDN and storage expenditures.
