The Benefits of Building Video Workflows in the Cloud

Delivering multiscreen video is now an essential part of any offering for content providers, pay TV operators and broadcasters alike. To meet and exceed fast-rising customer expectations, it is critical that operators deploy robust video workflows that are scalable, flexible and resilient. The cloud enables media organizations of all sizes to scale video infrastructure to manage spikes in demand, eliminating the need for large infrastructure build outs and capital expenditures. This webcast will present a guided tour through the tools and services needed to quickly and easily build a cloud-based multiscreen solution.

Foundational Concepts: Video Compression, Processing and Delivery

Increasing smartphone subscriptions and data volumes per subscription are driving rapid growth in mobile data traffic, much of which is video content. According to multiple industry reports, these trends will continue for the near future, and by 2020, 75 percent of the world’s mobile data traffic will be video according to the Cisco Visual Networking Index. Technical and business leaders at organizations that aim to expand offerings using video need to understand the complexities of delivering premium viewing experiences to consumers.

A New Way to Monetize Content – Live-to-VOD in the Cloud

Today, pay TV operators have an opportunity to capitalize in new and innovative ways on live video assets. These operators can add value to live broadcasts by creating VOD assets in real time. With the flexibility, scalability, and resiliency of the cloud, pay TV operators can quickly and easily offer time-shifted TV capabilities alongside targeted advertisements to generate new revenue opportunities. As a part of this webcast, AWS Elemental will demonstrate cloud-based start-over TV with a live broadcast, showcasing how pay TV operators can use this opportunity for targeted advertisements.

Building a Unified DVB-T2 and Multiscreen Video Headend

Terrestrial broadcasters face pressure to reduce bandwidth as spectrum from the original DVB-T range is reclaimed for other uses. Implementing a flexible, software-based headend solution when migrating to DVB-T2 is key because it enables broadcasters to maintain video quality and condense as many services as possible into less bandwidth. A unified headend with video solutions from AWS Elemental and Nevion can deliver channels to many transmitters via IP, satellite or both, and can deliver the same channels and additional video-on-demand content to multiscreen devices.

Monetize Video Content with Server-Side Ad Insertion

Video advertising is in a period of transition. Content providers want to personalize ads to maximize revenue, while consumers are increasingly taking advantage of ad blockers. In this webcast, panelists from AWS Elemental and Ooyala highlight how server-side ad insertion reaches more screens with broadcast-quality video and without user interruption. The latest advancements in both server- and client-side ad insertion approaches to content are also discussed.

HEVC / H.265

HEVC / H.265 is an open standard intended to leverage exceptionally efficient video compression techniques. Without sacrificing video quality, HEVC can reduce the size of a video file or bitstream by as much as 50 percent compared to AVC/H.264 or as much as 75 percent compared to MPEG-2 standards. This results in reduced video storage and transmission costs and also paves the way for higher definition content to be delivered to consumers. Learn more about the HEVC standard, its expected adoption across industry segments and how AWS Elemental solutions support migration to the new codec.
