Stuff.TV - We met with Todd Yellin, Vice President of Product Innovation at Netflix.
"Yellin showed two trailers for the upcoming Marvel’s Iron Fist, and were asked to spot the difference.

The result is that Netflix is able to produce the same picture quality at half the bitrate."

"One thing that won’t be happening is Netflix’s arrival on Nintendo Switch."
