The Agenda - Day Three
Friday, December 1
9:30 AM - 10:45 AM
Video Distribution Across Platforms: Broadband, IPTV, Cable, TV and Mobile
In this session we bring together leading content owners and aggregators, along with media asset management providers and network providers who provide solutions, tools and advice to enable the delivery of video. Content creators from web innovators to studios, broadcasters, and cable companies are rolling out services to an increasing number and complexity of distribution channels, formats and devices. Media storage and distribution across platforms is one of the most overlooked issues in the mission-critical world of near-realtime delivery. Determining the master format for archiving, encoding formats for distribution, and transcoding formats for transformation is different in every case. At the same time the industry is going tapeless, HD has come and changed everything. Addressing which files live online, nearline, offline and putting in place a disaster recovery strategy for a hybrid tape and disk world significantly impacts daily workflow and ultimately the bottom line. Millions of dollars are literally at stake.
