Streaming Week
Streaming Content & Platforms
SVOD subscriptions have rocketed up during lockdown. But with consumers unwilling to pay for ever more subscriptions, the need to stand out in a crowded marketplace has never been so high. Whatever the service, efficiency is the backbone of OTT platforms, alongside user interfaces and consumer experience.
The Streaming Week is about efficient content delivery and preparation for direct-to-consumer platforms as well as the architecture and design of OTT experiences. We are exploring the complete technology toolset needed to go direct – what’s available now and what’s on the horizon?

How to Face Traffic & Other Challenges Posed by Live Video Streaming Services with an Elastic CDN
When delivering streamed coverage of a live sports event, you don’t want this message to appear on users’ screens: “We’re having trouble playing this. Rest assured, we’re working on it.” Yet stream interruptions impacted millions of viewers at critical moments in each of the last four Super Bowls. Why would anyone expect that live OTT will live up to the legacy TV experience? As a streaming service provider, you need to offer a viewing experience that matches or exceeds the norms of traditional broadcast and pay-TV.
But is this possible? And how?
Join Damien Lucas, Chief Technology Officer & co-founder of Anevia, in a webinar on how a new approach to CDN infrastructure can help deliver on this expectation.

Video Transport by Medialooks is a proprietary protocol that works on top of SRT and features automatic site discovery and network traversal (based on ICE), advanced forward error connection (FEC) and ARQ recovery implementations. Effective H.264 and H.265 compression is used for bandwidth reduction – from as low as 2 Mbps to as high as 80 Mbps for perceptually lossless transmission. When interfacing with a browser for remote video contribution or monitoring, the transport method switches to WebRTC. VIEW PRESENTATION

Digital content has grown exceedingly in the last decade, both in size and type. With streaming taking the lead, consumption habits and the level of intricacies in content management have also grown complex. The legacy methods to backends always ended up in monoliths, which allowed little to no interoperability or expandability. Modern service-oriented architectures further pose unique challenges, commercially and technically. Let's look at how to develop, manage, orchestrate, and deploy an ideal service-oriented architecture. VIEW PRESENTATION
This presentation will provide a brief overview of these technologies. It will then describe experiments running on the public Internet that have been carried out with various CDN and OTT players. VIEW PRESENTATION
