Webinar: Cyber security – Protecting Assets


Webinar: March 28th 2018, 16:00 BST
With viewers consuming content on an increasing array of devices and platforms and the virtualisation of workflows, the task of protecting assets has never been so complicated and costly. Add to this the fact that the media industry is a high-profile target for hackers and it becomes clear that cyber security is at the top of the agenda for all those involved in the media supply chain.

Join this IBC365 webinar, sponsored by Juniper Networks, to hear from senior industry figures who will examine where the weaknesses lie in the production, delivery and distribution workflow and consider what can be done to address vulnerabilities and make sure that film and TV is consumed as intended by broadcasters, platforms and content owners.

The webinar will cover:
– Identification of supply chain vulnerabilities
– Best practice for safe guarding assets
– The role of people in protecting content
– How best to anticipate a cyber breach
– What to do if your security is compromised

Webinar: Online Video Formats: 2018 and Beyond


Webinar: Tue, Mar 27, 2018 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM BST
Sifting through the plethora of online codecs current and upcoming, Jason Thibeault and Thierry Fautier present this webinar from Harmonic and the Streaming Video Alliance

Recently, we have seen renewed attention on HEVC following Apple’s announcement to support the codec on their devices. 6 months later, Apple surprisingly became a founding member of the Alliance for Open Media (AOM) as a supporter of the AV1 codec. Yet, while the AOM group claims AV1 provides better performance than HEVC and will be offered royalty-free, there are some academic benchmarks who find AV1 inferior to HEVC on codec quality and performance.
In the meantime, MPEG / ITU-T is working on a next generation video codec, in a group called JVET (Joint Video Exploration Team) that has a mandate to deliver a video compression standard that can reach 50% over HEVC in 2020. Additionally, on the streaming side, we have seen the MPEG CMAF standard getting some traction not only to unify the HLS and DASH worlds, but also to offer the long awaited low latency delay solution for OTT.

This panel will discuss perspectives on these video compression technologies to help content providers, broadcasters, and service providers figure out the best path forward to distribute content over the internet in the coming years.
