Xstream4_AR supports AV1, VP9, H.264, and H.265 (HEVC) are all video codecs with different strengths and use cases.
Netflix uses H.264/AVC and AV1 for standard dynamic range content and H.265/HEVC for Dolby Vision.
So Xstream4_AR can support Dolby Vision, I sent a mail to airtel , let us see what they say.
- H.265 (HEVC) ( to support Dolby Vision) A codec with better compression and quality for 4K content, but it involves licensing fees. It's one of the most efficient codecs available today
- AV1 A royalty-free codec with efficient compression that's gaining popularity for streaming platforms. However, it has a slow encoding speed and isn't compatible with some hardware and software.
- VP9 An open-source codec that's well-supported by Google platforms and is widely adopted by streaming platforms and web browsers.
- H.264 A codec that's less efficient than AV1 and HEVC.
The choice of codec depends on specific needs and use cases. For example, streaming platforms may use a combination of codecs to ensure compatibility with a wide range of devices.
