QNAP Transcoding Center
Mobile devices are taking over the world, and more and more people are starting to use them as their
movie player of choice. But the diverse number of video formats used (MP4, AVI, MKV, etc) have made it
inconvenient for users to watch videos as their device may lack the necessary codecs. One way around this
is called "Transcoding". Background transcoding is supported by the Turbo NAS and can process your videos
into universally-used video formats. Users only need to choose their device's resolution and the video les
they want to watch will be transcoded for watching on mobile devices via the Internet.

Background Transcoding allows you to
convert videos to optimized resolutions for
accommodating slower/restricted network
environments and device limitations.
Why do we need transcoding?
With the popularity of high-definition smartphones and digital cameras, video resolutions are getting higher. A higher
resolution means larger file sizes and more bandwidth needed for streaming. Transcoding creates videos with optimal
resolutions for sharing & watching in order to save bandwidth, but also retains the unaltered original video on the
Turbo NAS.

The Turbo NAS provides
a range of resolutions
to play/share videos
according to different
bandwidth limits. Higher
resolutions need more
bandwidth, and you
can select the right
resolution for your
network environment
to get the best viewing
experience.
