OTT is just TV—or at least it should be. Viewers are looking to OTT services not simply as an add-on to broadcast or cable, but as a replacement. Akamai, Bitmovin and EZDRM join forces in this Streaming Media webinar to shed light on how to make your OTT service as reliable, robust, and feature-rich as broadcast or cable, as well as how to add features and functionality that the previous generation of TV simply can’t match.

Encoding and transcoding are at the heart of every video service and solution, and the codec and format landscape has never been more crowded. Publishers are wringing the most efficiency out of H.264 while making the move to HEVC/H.265 and AV1—and keeping an eye on other proprietary codecs. On top of all that are considerations like video optimization, bitrate ladders, and per-title encoding.
Join this expert panel as they discuss the latest in encoding and transcoding, including the following:

FuboTV, Viacom, JWPlayer, Bitmoving and Littlstar sit down together to discuss the state and future of VP9, HEVC and AV1.
With the release of AV1 and support for HEVC in HLS, new dynamics are unfolding in the video codec world. VP9 is still gaining popularity among content providers, especially for web browsers and Android devices. This panel discusses the status of video codecs today, the benefits and drawbacks of each, and how these things will change in the future. It also discusses whether the industry is getting into yet another codec war, meaning that content providers will have to support multiple video codecs in parallel to reach all devices.
The panel hits these topics:
• What they are currently using and how they got there
• Bitmovin’s Video Developer Report
• AV1 coding performance benchmarks
• Use of VP9 and its future
• Apple’s adoption of HEVC on HLS
• 10-bit and 4:2:2 for consumer delivery
• HEVC Patent Pool Changes
• Cost effectiveness of AV1
• Smart TVs and much more!
