Abstract:
A controller and a method for controlling output bitrate of a video encoder when encoding a video stream. The method for controlling output bitrate of a video encoder when encoding a video stream comprises: receiving weather forecast data for a location where the video stream is captured; predicting, based on the weather forecast data, a future increase in output bitrate of the video encoder due to weather affecting contents of the video stream; and reducing the output bitrate of the video encoder by increasing a compression level of the video stream so as to compensate for the future increase in output bitrate of the video encoder.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n setting a bit budget corresponding to a maximum number of bits that are allowed to be output from the video encoder during a time interval; receiving previously collected bitrate data indicating an average temporal variation of output bitrate of the video encoder during the time interval; and calculating, from the previously collected bitrate data, a number of bits which on average is output from the video encoder at a current time point of the time interval; and adjusting the compression level by:\n increasing the compression level if a number of bits that has been output from the video encoder at the current time point exceeds the calculated number of bits which on average is output from the video encoder at the current time point, and \n decreasing the compression level if the number of bits that has been output from the video encoder at the current time point is below the calculated number of bits which on average is output from the video encoder at the current time point.
