Viewers won’t tolerate poor video or audio quality, yet too many broadcasters don’t invest in technology to proactively monitor their transmission to ensure the quality of their broadcasts. Don’t rely upon your distribution partners to report and fix problems.
In this extended session, four authors will each present their impressive research in the field of XR. Our first is an outstanding paper on the emerging volumetric video technology, Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs), where it provides a thorough and detailed treatise of the state-of-the-art as well as comparative performance results.
While live sport is a commercial driver for many OTT services, handling peak traffic remains a significant challenge. The current ecosystem is built around content providers at one end, operators at the other with content delivery networks (CDNs) in the middle: yet there is little or no coordination.
Swiss Radio and Television (SRF) is actively integrating AI solutions to enhance operational efficiency and better target its audience.
This session will provide a comprehensive overview of how AI can be effectively integrated into media enterprises from an architect’s perspective. The presentation will emphasise how AI adoption can transform existing enterprise architectures, enhancing efficiency, innovation, and ROI.
In this session, three authors present their work on the application of AI to media production. Our first paper from the EBU describes a facial recognition machine learning system that has been tailored to the specific needs of media documentalists. It seeks to only identify “active” and not incidental characters, assisting in compliance with privacy regulations.
Keeping content – on-demand or live – secure is critical to the commercial survival of video service providers. Content businesses must protect themselves from piracy and digital fakery. While live sport broadcasting has become big business, live streaming has allowed piracy to proliferate: streaming-related piracy can see global redistribution of stolen content at lightning-speed. As well as putting video services and OTT platforms at risk of breaching their commercial agreements with content owners, security lapses can result in substantial revenue losses and damage brands.
Unpredictable cloud and CDN egress charges, network latency, guaranteed cache capacity, cache personalization on the edge, customizable routing decisions, advanced traffic insight: these are some of the main challenges that companies face when using public CDNs to deliver their online video content.
In our increasingly digital world there is an ever expanding array of new data sources. This session will look at how disparate data sources are directly relevant to shaping content everywhere services and the targeting and delivery of content and advertising to consumers’ devices.
In this session, we will highlight a real-world use case featuring DPG Media and their successful implementation of our media infrastructure technology.
