1. A method for managing encoding of an input multimedia content stream, the method comprising:
obtain a primary configuration used for encoding the input multimedia content stream for generating a primary channel;
determine, based on the primary configuration, a redundancy configuration for encoding the input multimedia content stream for generating a redundancy channel; and
encode the input multimedia content stream according to the redundancy configuration to generate the redundancy channel,
wherein the encoding of the input multimedia content stream according to the redundancy configuration uses less resources than resources used for encoding the input multimedia content stream according to the primary configuration,
wherein the redundancy configuration is determined for distributing the redundancy channel through a distribution network in place of the primary channel upon occurrence of a failure in the generating the primary channel, and
wherein one or more of one or more deactivated encoding optimization features indicated in the primary configuration as used for encoding the input multimedia content stream according to the primary configuration and one or more pre-processing features indicated in the primary configuration as used for pre-processing prior to encoding the input multimedia content stream according to the primary configuration are not used for generating the redundancy channel.
