Per-Title, Per-Shot, and Content-Adaptive Encoding with IRIS.ANALYST


Not all video content is created equal—different scenes require different bitrates to deliver high-quality results. While we want to avoid wasting bandwidth, we also aim to preserve every detail. IRIS.ANALYST enables smarter encoding decisions by analyzing spatial and temporal complexity at the per-title and per-shot level.


Noise and grain are part of a video’s spatial and temporal signal. As noted by Netflix, these factors alone can impact bitrate needs by up to 30%. At Wavelet Beam, we’ve confirmed this: leveraging IRIS.ANALYST can lead to a **30% reduction in bitrate**—while maintaining or improving perceived visual quality.


IRIS.ANALYST Feature Set:

  • Automatic selection of video noise profiles
  • Measurement of video resolution—no test target required
  • Quantified video noise levels using PSNR [dB]
  • Spatial and temporal complexity measurement
  • Contrast and brightness evaluation
