Video: CHUNKY MONKEY – using chunked-encoded chunked-transferred CMAF to bring low latency live to very large scale audiences

Posted on 26th October 2018 by Russell Trafford-Jones

Will Law from Akamai proves his chunky credentials by telling us how to achieve very low-latency streaming in his talk at Demuxed 2018.

In the jungle of solutions for low latency live streaming, there are many current options ranging from WebRTC, to proprietary UDP protocols to standard segmented media with ever-shortening segments. This session highlights one of these – chunked-encoded chunked-transferred CMAF – as an optimal and practical confluence of both reach and performance. On the technical side, we’ll investigate the underlying technology, the latency regimes possible, compatibility with legacy players, cachability on delivery networks and player behaviour requirements. Including live demonstrations of several streams on a production network. This talk looks at the standards from DVB and MPEG DASH as well as CDN support. As a sweetener, Will points you at open source code on both the encoder and player side for doing this all yourself.

Webinar: The Benefits of LIVE OTT in the Cloud

Posted on 6th November 2017 by Russell Trafford-Jones

Date: Thursday, November 9, 2017
Time: 8:00 am PT / 11:00 am ET / 16:00 UTC

Consumers demand access to their favorite content anytime and anywhere. That includes access to on-demand and live feeds. VoD delivery itself is not considered a differentiator anymore as consumers want a better holistic experience and access to live feeds via OTT platforms. The process of managing live OTT video workflows capable of delivering at scale and with no disruption or errors requires a new approach.

This webinar will explore how technology innovations can support live OTT content distribution at scale while creating new monetization opportunities. We will discuss how to meet additional consumer requirements through further engagement techniques via cloud-based solutions, as offering a live TV service is ultimately not just about streaming; it is about creating an end-to-end holistic experience.
