Webinar: Intro to QVBR: Quality-Defined Variable Bitrate Control

Date: April 26th 2018, 16:00 BST, 8am PDT

If the most important characteristic of encoded video is quality, a simple and certain way to achieve it is through Quality-Defined Variable Bitrate Control (QVBR) which is designed to deliver constant video quality and waste zero bits in the process.

Here’s a brief outline of QVBR’s many benefits:
• Generate consistent, high-quality video for a perfected media experience
• Maintain video quality with fewer bits, saving up to 50% on storage and delivery
• Easy, simple operation: Just set a fixed quality level and a max bitrate and the encoder does the rest
AVC and HEVC codec support

Join AWS Elemental for an in-depth, technical discussion of how QVBR works, its advantages, and its uses.

Meeting: Binaural Sound Map of Malaga


Date: 11th April 2018, 18:30-20:00
Location: University of York – Department of Theatre, Film and Television, Baird Lane, Heslington, YO10 5GB

Carmen Rosas presents her research on creating a Binaural Sound Map of Malaga. This sound map aims at creating a tool that collects some of the most distinctive soundscapes of Malaga, an important touristic city with multiple and different soundscapes (and also many conflicts caused by noise) so that they can be listened to by their inhabitants and people from all over the world, become part of the city’s cultural heritage and be archived and catalogued for their conservation. It has also the intention of promoting the awareness of preserving a good quality sound environment by showing the diversity and richness of the soundscapes of the city.
