Commodity vs. Specialty Streaming
Bunny.net has disrupted the CDN market with its incredible price-to-performance ratio, making it an ideal choice for standard web video delivery. For 1080p marketing assets or user-generated content feeds, it is often the most logical economic choice.
However, Spatial Video is not a commodity format. It requires pixel-perfect depth alignment and resolution far exceeding typical web standards. Bunny's "one-size-fits-all" encoding engine is optimized for speed and compression, often at the expense of the fidelity required for preventing motion sickness in VR/AR headsets.
The 4K Ceiling
Most general-purpose streaming platforms, including Bunny, impose resolution caps (often 4K or 8K). While sufficient for flat screens, these limits degrade the immersive experience on retina-class displays like the Apple Vision Pro. To achieve "window-like" clarity, master files often need to exceed 8K resolution—a capability that standard CDNs throttle or block entirely.
The High-Fidelity Engine: SpatialGen
SpatialGen is engineered for top-line visual quality. SpatialGen supports 16K master files and utilize specialized MV-HEVC encoding profiles that prioritize fidelity over file size reduction.
Developer Experience
Beyond video quality, SpatialGen offers a developer-first experience tailored for the Vision Pro ecosystem. SpatialGen's documentation is written specifically for spatial video engineers.
Stereoscopic Precision
Standard H.264/H.265 encoders can introduce subtle timing / compression differences between left and right eye views. SpatialGen offers these codecs but also supports the MV-HEVC codec, which locks the left and right eye views together, ensuring perfect stereoscopic sync.
16K Resolution
SpatialGen supports up to 16K playback for ultra-high-resolution content, enabling experiences that feel truly lifelike rather than just "high definition."
Native VisionOS Player
Integration with Bunny requires using standard web players which may not support spatial features. SpatialGen's videos are built to be played natively on Apple devices, with no additional player required.
Studio-Grade Protection
For premium content, SpatialGen offers robust DRM support that works seamlessly with Apple's FairPlay streaming, something that often requires complex custom handling on general video platforms.
Choosing Your Platform
If your goal is minimizing bandwidth costs for 2D assets, Bunny.net is the market leader. If your goal is maximizing immersion and fidelity for spatial experiences, SpatialGen is the only choice capable of delivering the quality your users expect.
