Broadcast & Media Industry Events

Join us for a practical online workshop on standards-based media quality monitoring covering the full chain with CMSD.
Speakers: Will Law (Akamai), Brenton Ough (Touchstream), Adrian Roe (Norsk), Alexander Leschinsky (G&L Systemhaus)
If you’ve ever chased a video-streaming issue across five tools while viewers noticed first, you’re not alone. This is where the new CMSD approach comes in, which starts right at the encoder, turning its quality signals into a standards-based thread that travels with the stream. That gives ops teams earlier visibility and enables automated upstream actions, so you can prevent impact instead of just reacting to it.
Ready to see it in practice? This hour is for you.
When: 11 December, 9am ET / 3pm CET

90-second YouTube video teaser: Brenton Ough gives a quick look at how CMSD works
What you’ll learn:

See it where it happens: How encoder-generated CMSD signals travel through the workflow.
Score it, then act: Use standards-based scoring to automate switches and safeguards.
Simplify monitoring: learn how to implement CMSD, cut blind spots and boxes, and save costs by replacing old-fashioned hardware probes that are expensive and hard to maintain.

Industries to benefit from this workshop:
Live sports & news broadcasters, OTT/VOD platforms, Event & eSports streaming, Cloud gaming & interactive, Virtual events/webinars, Training & e-learning, Government & public-service channels
You should attend if you’re looking for:

A standards-based way to monitor video quality end to end
Automated decisions (e.g., encoder/CDN switching) driven by quality scores
A clear path to unify fragmented tools and dashboards
Guidance on rollout strategy with CMSD
Insight from multiple angles: encoder (Norsk), monitoring (Touchstream), operations (G&L), ecosystem (Akamai)
