Channel fitting for media processing

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• determining, from a channel and an associated signature, a set of performance affecting parameters;
• determining, based on the set of performance affecting parameters and at least a portion of historical parameters for at least a portion of the performance affecting parameters, a testing configuration for the channel;
• assigning the channel to one or more resources according to the testing configuration;
• determining one or more additional settings, for a transcoding operation using the testing configuration, corresponding to one or more unknown properties of the channel;
• executing the transcoding operation for the channel;
• determining testing values for one or more metrics, of the one or more resources, are within a threshold;
• and
• storing the testing configuration for the set of performance affecting parameters.

A system, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• memory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
• determine, from a channel and an associated signature, a set of performance affecting parameters;
• determine, based on the set of performance affecting parameters and at least a portion of historical parameters for at least a portion of the performance affecting parameters, a testing configuration for the channel;
• assign the channel to one or more resources according to the testing configuration;
• determine one or more additional settings, for a transcoding operation using the testing configuration, corresponding to one or more unknown properties of the channel;
• execute the transcoding operation for the channel;
• determine testing values for one or more metrics, of the one or more resources, are within a threshold;
• and
• store the testing configuration for the set of performance affecting parameters.
