RealMedia™ HD (RMHD)
RMHD is the answer for today’s consumer demand for higher definition videos. Videos consumed on multiple devices are often viewed from 1080p up to 4K. However, large file sizes of these HD videos have become a serious challenge not only for storage reasons but also due to limited network bandwidth for streaming and unique requirements of multiple devices used for consumer video watching. RealNetworks has put its decade long expertise into action and has developed a next generation video technology — RealMedia HD.
