Abstract: In embodiments, apparatuses, methods and storage media are described that are associated with content distribution. An encoder may be configured to encode portions of content, such as video and/or audio data, utilizing different sets of encoding control variable settings. The different sets of encoding control variable settings may include different resolutions, different frame rates, and/or different compression levels. Different segments and/or different portions of a single segment of data may be encoded using different sets of encoding control variable settings. The sets of encoding control variable settings may be selected based on quality of the encoded video and/or audio data. Instances of video and/or audio data encoded with different sets may be compared to the data from which they were generated to determine one or more quality metrics. One of the instances may then be selected for provisioning to a content consumption device.

Abstract: In various embodiments, an encoder may be configured to divide received content in a first format into one or more segments and then to transcode the previously-divided segments into other formats and/or bitrates for presentation. In various embodiments, the encoder may include multiple segmenting computing devices configured to perform the dividing of the content into segments. The encoder may also include multiple transcoding computing devices configured to transcode the divided segments into a format for presentation. In various embodiments, the computing devices may be configured to communicate with each other via a network to determine which content has been divided into segments and which divided segments have been transcoded. The determination may be performed autonomously by the devices. Thus, in various embodiments, the devices included in the encoder may be configured to perform segmenting and transcoding on a distributed basis without necessarily requiring coordination by any one device.

Abstract translation: 在各种实施例中，编码器可以被配置为将接收到的第一格式的内容分成一个或多个段，然后将先前分割的段转码为其他格式和/或比特率以进行呈现。 在各种实施例中，编码器可以包括被配置为执行将内容划分成段的多个分段计算设备。 编码器还可以包括被配置成将分割的片段转码为用于呈现的格式的多个代码转换计算装置。 在各种实施例中，计算设备可以被配置为经由网络彼此通信，以确定哪些内容已经被划分成段，哪些被划分的段已被转码。 该确定可以由设备自主执行。 因此，在各种实施例中，包括在编码器中的设备可以被配置为在分布式基础上执行分段和转码，而不需要任何一个设备的协调。
