What is Quasar?
Quasar is a video addon for Kodi that utilizes BitTorrent to stream movies and TV shows in high quality. Its P2P nature employs both download and upload bandwidth while viewing content. Quasar is a cloud-based file quality control (QC) service that assists users in performing file-based QC on cloud assets. Built natively for the cloud, Quasar promises the fastest QC processing rate, offering dynamic scaling to handle hundreds of assets simultaneously. It provides robust content security features such as IAM roles support, pre-authenticated URLs, and whitelisting. Quasar is offered as a SaaS service, with Venera managing the infrastructure. Users can integrate Quasar using a REST API or access the system manually via a web browser. Tiered usage-based subscription plans cater to varying content volume needs. Quasar supports a wide range of broadcast formats, IMF/DCP packages, and VOD formats, including adaptive bitrate formats. Additionally, Quasar enables advanced QC checks for HDR and Photosensitive Epilepsy validation using industry-standard tools
