On-demand Webinar: Unified Headend – The next step in TV transformation

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones


On Demand Webinar
This webcast assesses the benefits that Unified Headend delivers using software-defined video solutions. It outlines the extent to which operational efficiencies can be maximised even without virtualization.

Experts will discuss:

  • The migration towards software-based video processing, the services and functions that have benefited and the impact this ‘software-defined video’ is having on multiscreen and primary screen companies.
  • Why a Unified Headend is the natural next step for operators and broadcasters using software-defined video, and the operational impact when unifying currently separate video workflows (like broadcast and multiscreen).
  • How a Unified Headend helps when launching new services like 4K/UHD, skinny bundle OTT offers, and other new services.
  • Industry developments that could make the migration to a Unified Headend easier, and what you can do now to prepare the ground for a Unified Headend later.
  • How to implement a Unified Headend in a multi-vendor environment, technical challenges when merging different systems, and the implications for operations teams.

This webinar is now available on-demand!

The benefits of High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) are well understood, but transitioning from a traditional AVC workflow may seem daunting for video providers streaming in multiple formats. With Apple recently announcing HEVC and fragmented MP4 (fMP4) support for HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) and the concurrent standardization of the Common Media Application Format (CMAF), it’s important to understand the challenges ahead in creating a single video delivery format.

In this webcast, experts from AWS Elemental will highlight the history of HEVC, the benefits of migrating from AVC to HEVC, and what this transition means for video providers. Gain fundamental knowledge about the convergence of fMP4, CMAF and HEVC and the requirements to make the shift.
