W1. FFmpeg 5.0 Advanced: Working With Multiple Sources, Inputs, & Outputs
Wednesday, May 17: 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
In 2022, FFmpeg 5.0 (codenamed "Lorentz") was released, offering a major upgrade from previous versions. This workshop guides you through the changes that might affect your current processes and workflows, as well as introduces you to more challenging features of FFmpeg. If you’re already familiar with the basics of FFmpeg operation, you’re ready to tackle more ambitious tasks with one of the most powerful compositing tools available. We explore composition of two video sources with text labels and placement, setting up multiple processes to output multiple bitrates for adaptive delivery, using the “tee muxer” to distribute one encoding process to several outputs, and accessing connected hardware (e.g., webcams and A/V capture devices) and networked hardware (e.g., IP cameras) as inputs to FFmpeg processes.

W2. VVC: Ready for Action? A Comprehensive Guide to Deployment & Implementation
Wednesday, May 17: 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Get ready to learn about the latest video compression standard, VVC, in this must-attend 3-hour preconference session. With the promise of being the most efficient and versatile codec available, VVC is set to revolutionize the way we consume video content. In this session, we guide you through an in-depth exploration of VVC and how it compares to other codecs such as H.264, HEVC, and AV1. You gain a comprehensive understanding of VVC’s quality and features and the intellectual property picture, as well as learn why it will be the right choice for you.
Our technical experts dive into the VVC decoder, sharing valuable insights on when VVC decode will be available for closed-system deployment and mass-market distribution to the living room, mobile devices, and browsers. Other modules detail how to deploy VVC for VOD and live encoding, packaging needs for multiple screen delivery, and how VVC will handle HDR output. Don't miss this opportunity to stay ahead of the curve in video compression technology. With VVC deployments happening now, register quickly to secure your spot!

W3. FFmpeg 5.0 Advanced: Custom Compilations & Real-Time Workflows
Wednesday, May 17: 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
FFmpeg has become a core technology in many custom workflows for video services and products. This workshop shows you how to compile your own version of FFmpeg for Ubuntu/Debian OS with custom libraries not found in typical distributions. You learn how to compile additional tools that are included with the FFmpeg source code. We also review compilation for Windows and Mac. Next, we explore how to ingest or generate test live streams, and output to other destinations, diving in deeper with the "tee muxer." Examples demonstrating RTMP, HLS, SRT, and more are built from the ground up. You also learn how to tune codecs for real-time workflows.
