Livestreaming through Twitch should start to look a lot cleaner.
Amazon’s broadcasting site revealed today that it is boosting its video quality to support the 1080p resolution at a full 60 frames per second. This is something it has enabled certain channels to do before, but it is rolling out new transcoding options that will permit anyone to take advantage of crisper image. To power such detailed images at such a high framerate, Twitch is also lifting it’s previous bitrate barrier. These updates will hit every Twitch channel over the next couple of weeks, and it is something that should improve the experience of using and viewing live videos on the site for the audience as a whole, not just viewers of esports events.
