Abstract

A technique is provided. The technique includes receiving encoder settings; determining a minimum quantization parameter ('QP') for a frame based on the encoder settings; and encoding the frame based on the minimum QP. In some examples, the encoder settings include items such as a target bitrate, a frame rate, and a resolution of a video to be encoded. In some examples, the minimum quantization parameter is a cap on what quantization parameter can be assigned to a block. In some examples, the minimum quantization parameter is affected by these settings as the minimum quantization parameter can be considered to set a maximum amount of data to be used to encode a block, and the amount of data afforded to a block is affected by the encoder settings described above.
