Abstract

In various examples, the decoding and upscaling capabilities of a client device are analyzed to determine encoding parameters and operations used by a content streaming server to generate encoded video streams. The quality of the upscaled content of the client device may be monitored by the streaming servers such that the encoding parameters may be updated based on the monitored quality. In this way, the encoding operations of one or more streaming servers may be more effectively matched to the decoding and upscaling abilities of one or more client devise such that an increased number of client devices may be served by the streaming servers.
