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.

In this presentation, we will look at how artificial intelligence can learn to produce highly accurate duration estimations, even for complex workflows. The presentation has a technical focus, starting from the initial collection of requirements and working through the modelling process and evaluation, before looking at how such a solution could be deployed. Finally, we’ll look at how such a solution could be integrated into workflows to automate decisions such as “red line” workflows, or pre-emptively scale systems for load.
