Yes, all transcode options are still there

Ya pas 20k en 1440, fausse info. Y’a 20k au total entre tous les flux que TU encodes si tu choisis de ne pas passer par le transcode automatique twitch. 9k 1440p 7k 1080 Et le reste pour les résolutions plus basses. Le tout égal à 20k et c’est ce que montre OBS. Si tu es partenaire tu encodes juste le 1440p à 9K et t twitch transcode le reste pour toi. L’avantage du 1440p c’est le protocole d’encodage plus performant (h265) , donc 1440p à 9k est plus beau que 1080 à 8k (h264) C’est juste pas le même encodage dans ta machine. Donc l’augmentation relativement faible de bitrate est en fait boostee par ton encodage plus énervé. Jesperes que c’est clair sinon hésite pas.

Server side transcode is back, no wonder OBS is only using 9MB/s instead of 20MB/s yesterday w

Thought as much, not much different from how it used to be where twitch would do transcode resolution for you anyways (at this time it was partners only) Thanks chief :)

If you go here: dashboard.twitch.tv/settings… and it says you are eligible for server side transcode support you only need to use 9Mbps to send your 2K stream and Twitch servers will transcode all of the lower resolutions for you. If you are not eligible, you will use 20Mbps and your PC will transcode the resolutions 1440p60, 1080p60, 720p60 etc. depending how many tracks you allow in OBS. The 20Mbps is split across all of those resolutions automatically, you can’t stream 1440p60 at 20000 bitrate for example.

they transcode every upload across thousands of servers in parallel instantly... the hard part is already done before you hit play 👀

Good news about that, actually! In the Creator Dashboard under "Settings" and "Stream", you can check to see if your channel is eligible for Server Side Transcode Support.

I am an affiliate. i been for years. Others have come forward showing they have transcode but not 2k I have 2k but not transcode and it annoying. and no we can't i tried anything above 7.5k bitrate wont start the stream you get an error on twitch

If you want to Stream in 1440p You need to enable Enhanced Broadcast to take full use of the 9 Mbps and transcode. Transcode is basically allow people without 2k monitor to use 1080p, 720p etc. You can now stream 1080p with 7.5 Mbps instaed of the usual 6 Mbps.

Ok so i Tested this out. 2k Test v With Enhanced: On OBS it will show you using 20 mbps but on twitch it shows 9k being use. Without Enhanced: anything above 8k bitrate doesn't work. 2k: 7.5k bitrate works but no Transcode 1080p: 7.5k works anything higher stream will not work.

In the FAQ it says enhanced broadcasting is required for 2K. The 20 Mbps/9 Mbps difference SEEMS to be for their server-side transcode support but they worded it poorly imo Since you're partnered you should have server-side support, so 9 Mbps minimum (I guess)

Almost all the energy in computing right now is aimed at AI and datacenter GPUs. High-end desktop and workstation CPUs have been quietly overlooked. So it is good to see AMD put real engineering effort back into that part of the market. @AMD just published a technical blog on threading improvements that AMD engineers contributed upstream to HandBrake, now shipping in version 1.11.0 and later. The team found two bottlenecks holding back high-core-count systems: HandBrake was not scaling efficiently past 64 logical processors, and it was splitting transcode work into jobs so small that the CPU spent more time coordinating than encoding, especially at lower resolutions. In AMD testing, transcoding performance improved by up to 181% on a Threadripper PRO 9995WX 96-core system and up to 215% on a Threadripper 7980X 64-core system, spanning H.264, HEVC, 10-bit, and 8K workloads. This is the kind of investment the high end of desktop computing deserves and rarely gets these days. Core counts keep climbing, but those cores only matter when the software can actually keep them busy. amd.com/en/blogs/2026/handbr…

IE for 1440p enhanced is on. Then it's just _if_ you get "added server side transcode" As with added you send ONE feed, without it, up to 6/7

That is if you even had the hardware and bandwidth to even support 2k streams. if you're running anything less than a 3070ti or equivalent, you could see a performance dip in games when trying to transcode the stream chain (1440p HEVC, 1080p AVC, 720p, 480p, 360p). Sure you can limit the number of video streams, that's not what Enhanced broadcasting is really about. Twitch did put out an update recently that allows their servers to transcode SOME 1440p on their end, but it's only available to certain casters first come first serve. If Kick starts allowing 1440p streams, imo it would be a GAME CHANGER for the site. they really need to.

Dodaj fotkę i ten dłuuuugaśny prompt: ROLE & OBJECTIVE You are VisionStruct v2.0, an elite Computer Vision & Data Serialization Engine. Your sole purpose is to ingest visual input (images) and transcode every discernible visual element—both macro and micro—into a rigorous, machine-readable JSON format. CORE DIRECTIVE Do not summarize. Do not offer "high-level" overviews unless nested within the global context. You must capture 100% of the visual data available in the image. If a detail exists in pixels, it must exist in your JSON output. Your output must enable PERFECT reconstruction of the original image, including its artistic style. ANALYSIS PROTOCOL (INTERNAL) Macro Sweep: Identify the scene type, global lighting, atmosphere, and primary subjects. Micro Sweep: Scan for textures, imperfections, background clutter, reflections, shadow gradients, and text (OCR). **Subject Sweep (CRITICAL):** If humans or animals are present, analyze anatomy, physiognomy, emotion, styling, and pose with absolute precision. Relationship Sweep: Map the spatial and semantic connections between objects (e.g., "holding," "obscuring," "next to"). OUTPUT FORMAT (STRICT) You must return ONLY a single valid JSON object. Do not include markdown fencing (like ```json) or conversational filler before/after.

Instead, list the crowd as a group object, but then list visible distinct individuals in the 'subjects' array with full analysis. Micro-Details: You must note scratches, dust, weather wear, specific fabric folds, subtle lighting gradients, and skin texture. Null Values: If a field is not applicable, set it to null rather than omitting it, to maintain schema consistency. The final output must be in a code box with a copy button.

If you qualify for server-side transcode support, then you should be able to use Enhanced Broadcasting and only send the highest resolution.

Added server-side transcode support for 2k Enhanced Broadcasting streams will be available to all Partners and select Affiliates, starting today. Affiliates can check their access to this in the Creator Dashboard under Stream Settings: dashboard.twitch.tv/settings…

I could stream in 2K for a while already, but the "Server Side Transcode Support" option says "Ineligible" lol- this also a visual bug you think?

The added server-side transcode support is perfect. I refused to go 2k with Enhanced Broadcasting because it literally cooks my PC with all the local transcodes. Now, I can have Twitch help with that - and stream in my native canvas resolution without frying my encoding chip! One weird issue tho, it says my account is ineligible for 2k streaming for some reason. Maybe it takes a minute to roll out fully?

no Enhanced Broadcasting added server-side transcode support You are misreading it. With no server sider transcode support you will stream every resolution yourself and not only one. So 1080p wont be 20k bitrate.
