If you are new to the topic, we suggest reading our tutorial Understanding the Bitmovin Encoding Object Model to get a basic idea of the building blocks that make up an encoding.

For instructions how to set up the configuration environment and run examples, consult the README.md file in the subfolder for your preferred programming language.

For full documentation of all available API endpoints, see the Bitmovin API reference.

• HTTP_INPUT_HOST (?)
• HTTP_INPUT_FILE_PATH (?)
• S3_OUTPUT_BUCKET_NAME (?)

This example shows how to do a Per-Title encoding with default manifests. A Per-Title encoding automatically detects the optimal codec settings for your video assets.

Required configuration parameters:

• BITMOVIN_API_KEY (?)
• HTTP_INPUT_HOST (?)
• HTTP_INPUT_FILE_PATH (?)
• S3_OUTPUT_BUCKET_NAME (?)
• S3_OUTPUT_ACCESS_KEY (?)
• S3_OUTPUT_SECRET_KEY (?)

This example demonstrates how multiple audio streams can be included in a BroadcastTS muxing. BroadcastTS muxings are MPEG transport stream muxings which allow setting custom properties such as PCR interval and PIDs for transmission to traditional broadcast targets like set top boxes, QAM streamers and similar devices. This muxing is not generally used for streaming to IP devices such as browsers, iOS, or Android devices.

Required configuration parameters:

• BITMOVIN_API_KEY (?)
• HTTP_INPUT_HOST (?)
• HTTP_INPUT_FILE_PATH (?)
• S3_OUTPUT_BUCKET_NAME (?)
• S3_OUTPUT_ACCESS_KEY (?)
• S3_OUTPUT_SECRET_KEY (?)
• S3_OUTPUT_BASE_PATH (?)

This example demonstrates how to apply filters to a video stream. Filters will manipulate the content of a stream, e.g. remove noise or add a watermark image. See the Encoding Filters API Reference for a complete list of available filters.

Required configuration parameters:

• BITMOVIN_API_KEY (?)
• HTTP_INPUT_HOST (?)
• HTTP_INPUT_FILE_PATH (?)
• S3_OUTPUT_BUCKET_NAME (?)
• S3_OUTPUT_ACCESS_KEY (?)
• S3_OUTPUT_SECRET_KEY (?)
• S3_OUTPUT_BASE_PATH (?)
• WATERMARK_IMAGE_PATH (?)
• TEXT_FILTER_TEXT (?)

This example shows how DRM content protection can be applied to a fragmented MP4 muxing. DRM is used to prevent playback on unauthorized devices (piracy) and requires integration with a key server.
The encryption is configured to be compatible with both FairPlay and Widevine, using the MPEG Common Encryption standard.

Required configuration parameters:

• BITMOVIN_API_KEY (?)
• HTTP_INPUT_HOST (?)
• S3_OUTPUT_BUCKET_NAME (?)
• S3_OUTPUT_ACCESS_KEY (?)
• S3_OUTPUT_SECRET_KEY (?)
• S3_OUTPUT_BASE_PATH (?)
• DRM_KEY (?)
• DRM_FAIRPLAY_IV (?)
• DRM_FAIRPLAY_URI (?)
• DRM_WIDEVINE_KID (?)
• DRM_WIDEVINE_PSSH (?)

This example demonstrates how to create multiple fMP4 renditions with Server Side Ad Insertion (SSAI).

Required configuration parameters:

• BITMOVIN_API_KEY (?)
• HTTP_INPUT_HOST (?)
• HTTP_INPUT_FILE_PATH (?)
• S3_OUTPUT_BUCKET_NAME (?)
• S3_OUTPUT_ACCESS_KEY (?)

This example shows how to configure and start a live encoding using default DASH and HLS manifests. For more information see: https://bitmovin.com/live-encoding-live-streaming

This example demonstrates how to efficiently execute a large batch of encodings in parallel. In order to keep the startup time for each encoding to a minimum, it is advisable to constantly have some encodings queued. Encodings will therefore be started in a way to maintain a constant queue size.

Required configuration parameters:

• BITMOVIN_API_KEY (?)
• HTTP_INPUT_HOST (?)
• S3_OUTPUT_BUCKET_NAME (?)
• S3_OUTPUT_ACCESS_KEY (?)
• S3_OUTPUT_SECRET_KEY (?)
• S3_OUTPUT_BASE_PATH (?)

These are the parameters that need to be supplied for the examples to work. They can be defined in a file, set as environment variables or passed directly to the run-example script.
