Description: Without a doubt, the biggest OTT story in 2021 was the explosion in availability and awareness of free ad-supported TV (FAST) services, which bring the lean-back, channel-surfing television experience many of us grew up with to the smart TV. But are we reaching a saturation point? Do FAST services really offer the kind of content that most viewers want? What’s the future of FAST?

Description: They’ve been two of the biggest buzz phrases for half a decade, but edge delivery and edge compute have finally come of age. If you’re not considering edge delivery for your OTT service, you’re missing the boat—and so are your viewers.

Description: Short answer: Not everybody. But if you’re delivering any sort of live video, latency is likely near the top of your list of concerns. Depending on your use case, you might be satisfied with a couple of seconds, or you might need sub-1-second latency to make interactive, “real-time” video experiences work. This panel breaks down the latency challenge into its component pieces, shedding light not only on how low you need to go, but also on the technologies that can get you there.

Ultimately, coverage will reach 75% of the viewing public. The combination over-the-air/IP service promises the best of both worlds, but how many people are really watching? What are the hurdles to adoption, and what are the plans to overcome them? Most important, what does it mean to you? Our panel addresses all those questions and more.

Title: Building a Secure Streaming Platform
Time: 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM
Description: Building robust and secure video streaming platforms is easier with proven products. IdeaNova customers are provided proven products as well as an additional feature—the ability to stream in autonomous mode. This is applicable to all kinds of content, including the highest quality content from Hollywood studios that must use hardware assisted encryption for handling Widevine, FairPlay, or PlayReady DRM. The new era of remote work dominates with technologies that embrace WebRTC. Live streaming products built by IdeaNova are distinguished using one unique feature that is not available elsewhere: the ability to process video stream input from multiple cameras. This allows simultaneous display of multiple viewing angles (e.g. product detail and room overview) where the viewer, not the producer, gets to choose the best viewing angle.
In this session we will discuss available building components and services and demonstrate real examples for their use.

Description:
As the number of SVOD and other subscription services kept growing, we knew that sooner or later, the bill would come due. Consumers have begun to scale back on the number of subscription services they’re willing to pay for and are taking advantage of the ability to bounce from service to service as compelling content comes and goes. And with more and more AVOD and FAST services at their fingertips, they don’t even have to pay to get some of that content. So how can subscription services acquire new customers and keep existing ones?

Description: We’ve all heard the hype, and by now, most of us have 5G phones and access to 5G networks, at least some of the time. And you know what? Most of the time, we as consumers don’t really notice any difference. But when it comes to production and delivery of live video, 5G is having a real impact. And in certain applications—in-stadium experiences, gambling, and gaming—the benefits of 5G are huge. Our panelists separate the hype from the reality and help you see how and why 5G matters to the streaming video industry.

Description: Free ad-supported TV (FAST) has taken off in the United States, where audiences are used to sitting through commercials. But what about in other markets, where top-shelf content often comes without ad breaks? It turns out that it’s taking hold everywhere, especially in EMEA, APAC, and Latin America. We bring together experts from around the world to talk about the differences among international markets and FAST’s prospects beyond the U.S.

Description: The Network Device Interface (NDI) and Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) protocols are revolutionizing how video gets produced and transmitted. And though they are sometimes pitted against each other, it’s really an apples-to-oranges comparison, and producers need to understand the differences to choose which solution is best for which application. We talk about the pros and cons of each, and why it’s not an either/or proposition.

Title: Optimizing Complex Media Processing Workflows in the Cloud
Time: 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM
Description: Moving the media processing of Broadcast VOD content to the cloud can help extract maximum value from your assets but demands the employment of multiple steps that can soon feel overwhelming.

Many of the world’s leading M&E companies now rely on Encoding.com to help simplify these highly complex workflows and overcome the potential pitfalls of cloud-based media processing. Jeff Malkin, president at Encoding.com, shares the ways in which his company’s API-based platform can optimize your workflow in this informative Tech Talk.
Title: Rethinking ad insertion in CTV
Time: 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM

Description: Trade shows and conferences are making a comeback, along with concerts, theater, and sporting events, but it’s clear that they’re not going to be the same as they were before COVID changed everything. And, no matter how many people attend in person, it’s become clear that there will always be people who want to be there but can’t or won’t. So how can event producers create experiences that satisfy audiences both “in the room” and at home? When should you go fully virtual, and when does a hybrid approach make sense?

Description: Whether they’re defined by the type of content—science fiction, horror, romance—or the type of audience, niche services are the long tail of the OTT universe. But just because their audiences are limited doesn’t mean their revenue opportunities are. Partnerships with aggregators and “mainstream” services offer pathways to bigger viewership numbers, and innovative marketing approaches can turn small services into big successes. Join us as we talk about how.
