The Media Services team worked closely with BBC R&D to define 14 video profiles and 5 audio profiles that can be combined to make ABR (Adaptive Bit-Rate) sets for all supported devices, from mobile phones connected over a cellular network, which gets 56Kbit/s stream to ensure video will continue to play even with slow connections, to computers and connected TVs, which will now get up to 5Mbit/s 720p video at 50fps.
More technical detail on the new profiles for iPlayer is here http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2015/07...or-bbc-iplayer
