Description: The codec landscape has been relatively quiet, at least in terms of new entrants. But the device landscape is more crowded than ever, so it hasn’t gotten any easier to determine which codecs are table stakes and which ones you can do without. 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.

Description: Content distributors can get more functionality and efficiency from the edge than ever before, but that doesn’t mean the traditional CDN is obsolete. In fact, the challenge today is to successfully integrate the edge with CDNs and cloud services, and that’s no mean feat. Our panelists offer insights into the latest developments in edge compute and discuss how the edge can more seamlessly work with CDNs and the cloud.

Title: Winning Recipes for a Successful ZTA Strategy
Time: 2:30 PM - 2:50 PM
Description: The latest strategy for a growing number of organizations to secure information and content is the implementation of a zero-trust architecture (ZTA)—not a product or single service, but rather multiple components working in conjunction to better an organization’s overall security capacity. Join us as we break down the key components, how and why they work together, and what it takes to make the sum total more than just a collection of the parts.

Description: Live conferences and trade shows are back! But a funny thing happened during the pandemic: The streaming video industry was forced to “drink our own Kool-Aid” and deliver events virtually, only to find that all the virtual event platform bells and whistles didn’t matter if the video wasn’t reliable. This panel offers a no-holds-barred discussion of what works, what doesn’t, and what the future of video-based event technology should look like.

Description: Throwing the laws of physics to the wind, some tech solutions providers still promise “zero latency.” We all know that’s impossible, but we’re getting closer than ever. Setting aside the business cases for ultra-low latency (which we’ll address in “The Future of Interactive Streaming” on Feb. 16), what are the latest technological advances that are enabling these sub-0.5-millisecond latency numbers, what are the trade-offs to employing them, and how low can we go?

Description: Live-streaming audiences are bigger than ever, with tentpole sporting events regularly drawing tens of millions of viewers. Needless to say, delivering to audiences of that size isn’t easy, especially while maintaining the type of video quality and features that these demanding viewers have come to expect.

Description: We may not truly be “post-pandemic,” and enterprises are still figuring out what the future of work is going to look like. One thing is certain, though: Video—whether for all-hands meetings, workplace collaboration, or outbound communications—is at the center of it all. The new video-centric enterprise presents both opportunities and challenges, and this panel addresses the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Description: 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. A number of organizations are looking to hosting providers to split the difference in “best of both worlds” type deployments, offering direct access to scalable compute and lowering data access charges, while maintaining a fixed hardware interface in a collocation facility to act as the ingress/egress point for service delivery. Early returns on hybrid are promising, but ultimately every case is different. Our panelists help you clarify the questions you need to ask to make the right choice for your business.

Description: For decades, television was a lean-back experience, but streaming opens up new avenues to all manner of interactivity, from simple polls and gamification to putting deep control of the viewing experience in the hands of the viewer. The implications for sports, gaming, betting, and auctions are obvious, but the possibilities are nearly limitless. We highlight what’s already happening in the world of interactive streaming, what’s in the works, and what might be possible in the future.

Description: The advertising vs. subscription debate is as old as online video itself. But is that all there is? While those two approaches to monetization will continue to sit at the core of the streaming media business, they don’t apply to all streaming services or producers. We’ll look at innovative approaches to revenue generation, from new twists on subscription to paying viewers to watch ads.

Description: In the current ecosystem, there are more channels and platforms competing for share than ever before. 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. FAST channels must evolve to thrive, and the old standards to launch or maintain a channel must evolve as well. What will FAST 2.0 be like and who will survive?
