The Amazon Chime SDK allows you to create standard and high definition WebRTC media sessions. A standard session supports video up to 720p resolution and while a high definition session supports video up to 1080p resolution.
The Amazon Chime SDK for JavaScript supports video at 30 frames per second without simulcast and 15 frames per second with simulcast. The Amazon Chime SDK for iOS and Android support video at 15 frames per second, however the actual framerate and resolution is automatically managed by the Amazon Chime SDK.
When active, video simulcast sends each video stream in two different resolutions and bitrates. Clients which are bandwidth constrained automatically subscribe to the lower bitrate stream. Video encoding and decoding uses hardware acceleration where available to improve performance.
The Amazon Chime SDK for JavaScript supports standard (1280x720) and high definition (1920x1080) video resolutions at 30 frames per second without simulcast, and 15 frames per second with simulcast.
