ASL Pricing
Calculator
Estimate 4all's cost for a live ASL interpreter video feed, then calculate a client price with service margin, pass-through costs, minimums, included minutes, and overages.
Simple mental model
Downstream GB ≈ viewer-minutes × Mbps × 60 ÷ 8 ÷ 1,000
Total client price = 4all service revenue + pass-through costs
For ASL, use enough bitrate for hands, face, and body movement. The default is 720p / 30 fps / 2.5 Mbps.

What is WebRTC?
Think of it as a live video call inside the browser. The interpreter sends one live feed, and each viewer receives a very fresh copy with low delay.
What is resolution?
Resolution is picture size. 720p is smaller than 1080p. Bigger picture usually means more data and more cost.
What is frame rate?
Frame rate is how many pictures per second. 30 fps means 30 pictures every second. More fps can look smoother but may need more bitrate.
What is bitrate?
Bitrate is how heavy the stream is every second. For pricing, bitrate is the big one: 2.5 Mbps costs more than 1.5 Mbps.
What are viewer-minutes?
Viewer-minutes are combined watch time. One person watching 10 minutes is 10 viewer-minutes. 100 people watching 10 minutes is 1,000.
Why separate pass-throughs?
Interpreter and fixed pass-through costs can be charged at cost. 4all margin should be calculated only on the 4all service component.
Formula reference
Internal reference| Metric | Formula | Plain English |
|---|---|---|
| Viewer-minutes | viewers × duration × watch % × days | Total ASL watch time across everyone. |
| Connection minutes | viewer-minutes + publisher-minutes | Minutes that viewers and interpreter feeds are connected. |
| Downstream GB | viewer-minutes × Mbps × 60 ÷ 8 ÷ 1,000 | Video data sent to viewers. |
| 4all service cost | raw delivery cost × contingency | Marginable delivery cost. |
| Pass-through cost | interpreter + backup + fixed pass-throughs | Added to quote, excluded from service margin. |
| Service margin | (service revenue - service cost) ÷ service revenue | Margin on 4all service only. |
