Focus on streaming operations: less theory, more practice
Take A Walk Through The Streaming Video Workflow
The streaming industry is full of great conferences. Some address deep technology topics, like Demuxed and Mile High Video, while others more high-level business topics like Streaming Media East and the StreamTV Show. But there hasn’t been an event yet focused on the operation of streaming platforms: the many challenges facing operators and how they might solve them.
Say Hello to SEGMENTS
From content acquisition through playback and analytics, SEGMENTS looks at the challenges of delivering a reliable, high-quality streaming service at scale.
Experts from throughout the streaming video ecosystem give 15-20 minute presentations focused on a technical challenge in a specific segment of the streaming video workflow and how they tried to solve it. SEGMENTS also includes brief updates from SVTA working groups.
Each SEGMENTS conference is a one-day event which happens in conjunction with one of the SVTA Member Meetings. SEGMENTS is open to the public and anyone can attend.
