Since you’re using a Roku Smart TV, it specifically is taking two full resolution “video snapshots” every second.

  • I haven't done any research into what's actually being transmitted, but I assume ACR feeds the snapshots into an ASIC that does something akin to perceptual hashing, then sends a chain of hashes collected over something like a 2-4sec window to an edge server for matching. So perhaps around 24kbps is actually being transmitted.
