# Rametron Lite

## the Overview

Using [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/) this layer is mainly used to handle transcoding requests from users, using community member desktop-based package systems (Ubuntu, Mac and Window), further sending transcoding versions to the Rametron pro layer to save.

Transcoding is a process by which a raw video stream is adapted to many alternative formats that a viewer may need. This allows the same video to be watched from a smartphone, tablet or a laptop and still be seen in the highest possible quality. Transcoding is a computationally difficult task and thus requires an expensive hardware to be performed efficiently.

Rametron Lite can also be placed on a server with Rametron Pro's specification. Rametron Lite that is placed in the server is called Rametron Lite-S.

The minimum token amount to stake is 22,500 PTX. The minimum hardware requirements are:
