  • Filling the Gaps in Video Transcoder Deployment in the Cloud - $15

    Topics: ,

    Cloud based deployment of content production and broadcast workflows has continued to disrupt the industry after the pandemic. The key tools required for unlocking cloud workflows, e.g., transcoding, metadata parsing, streaming playback, are increasingly commoditized. However, as video traffic continues to increase there is a need to consider tools which offer opportunities for further bitrate/quality gains as well as those which facilitate cloud deployment. In this paper we consider pre-processing, rate/distortion optimization and cloud cost prediction tools which are only just emerging from the research community. These tools are posed as part of the per-clip optimization approach to transcoding which has been adopted by the large streaming media processing entities but has yet to be made more widely available for the industry.

  • Zero Trust Network Access Considerations for Remote Live and Postproduction - $15

    Date: April 14, 2023
    Topics: ,

    As virtualization and GPU technologies evolve, the Media & Entertainment industry is discovering that adopting a remote access strategy with a hybrid cloud approach is a strategic imperative. The challenge of securing a hybrid environment for live and post production workflows requires organizations to understand and implement Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) concept. By understanding the importance and pitfalls associated with authenticating, authorizing, connecting, and tracking access to a hybrid environment for a remote workforce, organizations can ensure the security and productivity of its data and staff.
