Bitmovin Encoder
A cloud-native, high-performance video encoding engine that converts raw video into streaming-ready formats (HLS/DASH) with studio-grade quality and efficiency.
How Bitmovin Encoder + Enveu works
Bitmovin encodes your raw video into high-quality streaming formats, and Enveu ingests those encoded outputs to manage content, experiences, monetization, and playback across OTT apps.
End-to-End Flow
- Source upload : Content owners upload raw video files to Bitmovin Encoder (cloud, on-prem, or external storage).
- Cloud encoding : Bitmovin transcodes the source into HLS/DASH adaptive bitrate streams using optimized encoding ladders.
- Output storage : Encoded assets are stored in customer-owned storage/CDN (S3, GCS, Azure, etc.).
- Enveu ingestion :Enveu references the encoded HLS/DASH URLs—no re-encoding required.
- Content management : Metadata, thumbnails, access rules, and availability are managed in Enveu CMS.
- Experience & delivery : Enveu delivers the content across mobile, web, Smart TV, and CTV apps, with subscriptions, ads, and analytics applied.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Enveu re-encode videos encoded by Bitmovin?
No. Enveu does not re-encode content. It uses the existing HLS and DASH outputs generated by Bitmovin directly.
What video formats does Enveu support from Bitmovin?
Enveu supports HLS and MPEG-DASH adaptive bitrate streams, which are standard Bitmovin outputs.
Can I use my own storage and CDN?
Yes. Bitmovin outputs can be stored in customer-owned storage such as AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure, and delivered via any CDN. Enveu is CDN-agnostic.
Is this setup suitable for large OTT catalogs?
Absolutely. The Bitmovin + Enveu combination is ideal for large VOD libraries, frequent publishing, and global distribution.
Does this work for Live and Live-to-VOD workflows?
Yes. Bitmovin handles live encoding, while Enveu manages playback, access control, monetization, and Live-to-VOD publishing.
Can encoding and ingestion be automated?
Yes. Both platforms support API-based workflows, enabling fully automated encoding, ingestion, and publishing.
Who controls the encoding quality and bitrate ladder?
Encoding profiles, codecs, and bitrate ladders are fully controlled within Bitmovin. Enveu consumes the final encoded outputs.
Does Enveu support DRM, ads, and subscriptions on Bitmovin content?
Yes. Enveu applies DRM, ad integrations, subscriptions, entitlements, and geo-restrictions on top of Bitmovin-encoded streams.
Is this setup enterprise-ready?
Yes. This setup is widely used by broadcasters, sports networks, and premium OTT platforms that require scale, performance, and reliability.
