How AIOZ Node v4 Supports Web3 Streaming
A few months back, we shipped the AIOZ Node Version 4.0 (v4) update with an improved user interface and substantial functional improvements, increasing productivity and efficiency on AIOZ DePIN nodes.
In this article, we explore how the transcoding functionality on AIOZ Node v4 supports Web3 Streaming and the important role this plays in the upcoming AIOZ W3Stream service.
Let's dive in:
Web3 streaming is a new paradigm in online media delivery that leverages blockchain technology, decentralized networks, and real-time protocols to create a more efficient, secure, and interactive video streaming experience for viewers.
For Web3 streaming to live up to its promise, it needs a robust decentralized infrastructure network like the AIOZ DePIN, capable of handling all its complex requirements without any limitations.
The AIOZ DePIN consists of 180,000+ global edge nodes running the AIOZ Node App - a software that automatically utilizes the system resources of these nodes to execute computational tasks on the network in a completely permissionless manner.
The fourth version of the AIOZ Node App introduced Transcoding tasks - currently available in beta - to AIOZ DePIN nodes, empowering them with video transcoding capabilities.
Transcoding is a process that converts video files from one format to another, ensuring compatibility across various digital devices and media platforms.
Transcoding is carried out on AIOZ Node v4 through the following steps:
1.) Task Reception: Edge nodes receive transcoding tasks to be executed on the AIOZ DePIN on behalf of its users, similar to the reception of storage and delivery tasks.
2.) Encoding/Decoding: Edge nodes process the video files received, converting them into formats suitable for different devices and platforms.
3.) Storage and Delivery: The transcoded video files are stored on the edge nodes and delivered as needed, enhancing the network's efficiency.
This process ensures that high-quality video content is delivered efficiently, significantly enhancing the Web3 streaming user experience, whether for Video-on-Demand (VOD) viewing or Live Streaming services.
AIOZ Node v4 transcoding is also the foundation upon which the upcoming AIOZ W3Stream - a Web3 video infrastructure powered by 180,000+ AIOZ DePIN nodes for hosting, sharing, and streaming Video-on-Demand (VOD) and Live-Streaming - is built.
The transcoding feature will provide the following benefits to Web3 streaming platforms that choose to host their service on the AIOZ W3Stream service:
1.) Enhanced Viewing Experience:
i.) Device Compatibility: This ensures videos play seamlessly on various devices, from smartphones to smart TVs.
ii.) Higher Quality Playback: This maintains high video quality across different internet speeds and devices.
iii.) Adaptive Bitrate Streaming:- This adjusts video quality based on internet speed, minimizing buffering and interruptions.
2.) Efficient Content Delivery:
i.) Optimized Storage: This converts videos into multiple formats and resolutions, enabling quick retrieval and playback.
ii.) Network Efficiency: This reduces load times and improves delivery speeds across the network.
iii.) Consistent Performance: This ensures smooth and uninterrupted streaming, especially for live events.
3.) Broader Accessibility:
i.) Global Reach: This makes content accessible to users irrespective of technological setups and internet speeds.
ii.) Inclusive Access: This ensures older devices and slower connections can still access video content.
4.) Increased Monetization Opportunities:
i.) Enhanced User Satisfaction: This results in higher subscription rates and viewer retention for VOD services.
ii.) Boosted Engagement: This increases ad revenues and profitability for streaming platforms due to better viewer experiences.
All of these benefits will come together to ensure that AIOZ W3Stream - powered by AIOZ Node v4 transcoding - stands out as the ultimate infrastructure for Web3 streaming upon its release!
