Key Benefits

Upload up to 4K (3840x2160) resolution, 10GB per file

Up to five quality tiers generated per video: 480p, 720p, 1080p, 1440p, and 4K

Tiers are chosen from your source resolution, so nothing is ever upscaled

Adaptive bitrate switches quality mid-playback as the viewer's connection changes

Four-second segments mean playback starts fast and recovers quickly on a weak connection

No single downloadable file URL, only short streamed segments

Use Cases

4K client delivery

Send production footage without re-exporting a smaller version first.

ExampleYou upload a 4K master and vitelnk generates every tier down to 480p, so the client sees full quality and their phone still plays it.

Viewers on weak connections

Keep playback moving instead of stalling on a fixed high-bitrate file.

ExampleA viewer on hotel wifi starts at 1080p, drops to 480p mid-video, and climbs back up without touching a control.

Mixed-device audiences

One upload serves desktop, tablet, and mobile viewers.

ExampleYou share one link to a company-wide update and every device pulls the tier that fits its screen and bandwidth.

Streaming without handing over the file

Let people watch in full quality without giving them the source file.

ExampleA 4K deliverable streams as four-second segments, so there is no single file URL for a viewer to save.
