TUE1. The State of Codecs 2023

10:00 AM2023-02-142023-02-14

Tuesday, February 14: 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. (ET) / 7:00 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. (PT)

The codec landscape has been relatively quiet, at least in terms of new entrants. But the device landscape is more crowded than ever, 因此,确定哪些编解码器是表赌注,哪些可以不使用并没有变得更容易. We sit down with a panel of experts to assess where all the major codecs (H.264, H.265, VP9, and AV1), as well as newer entrants like EVC and LCEVC, should fit in your streaming strategy.

WED5. The Cloud vs. On-Prem vs. Hybrid Dilemma

04:00 PM2023-02-152023-02-15

Wednesday, February 15: 4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. (ET) / 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. (PT)

The cloud is limitless, right? Well, we all know that everything has constraints, and in business, they are most often driven by financial returns. As the massive shift to cloud computing continues, there is emergent conversation about the tipping point of the cost/benefit calculation. At what point does renting a service cost more than just owning it yourself? Custom-built hardware has the potential to deliver improved performance, but integration can be a challenge. There's a third choice: hybrid computing. 许多组织都希望托管提供商能够在“两全其美”类型的部署中弥合差异, offering direct access to scalable compute and lowering data access charges, 同时在并置设施中维护固定的硬件接口,作为服务交付的入口/出口点. Early returns on hybrid are promising, but ultimately every case is different. 我们的小组成员帮助您澄清您需要问的问题,以便为您的业务做出正确的选择.

在当前的生态系统中,竞争份额的渠道和平台比以往任何时候都多. 2022 was all about the growth of free ad-supported TV (FAST), but 2023 promises to be an inflection point that will set the stage for the future.
