Social media has brought significant changes in how sports broadcasting has been traditionally perceived. Whether we talk about live streaming, amplifying fan engagement, or finding ways to monetise ‘free to air content’, this is a potential topic of discussion and debate amongst the broadcasters.

Unlike broadcast, where distribution costs are fixed irrespective of audience size, online costs have typically increased incrementally as the audience grows. However, the connected environment of the web creates new opportunities to attract new viewers. This session explores new technologies that are closing the gap between broadcast and online distribution economics and techniques and business models that can be deployed to build audiences online to rival those of traditional broadcast.

In this session, University College London and Wowza Media Systems share a real-life use case that shows how educational institutions and other publishers can embrace virtual reality and 360° live streaming to further deepen the connection between teachers, students, and learning, with lessons that can be applied to video publishers in every market.

OTT does many things that broadcast can't, but it still lags behind in one crucial area: latency. There's nothing worse for a viewer than to find out about a crucial goal or key play on Twitter before they see it on their screen. How can OTT solve the latency problem? In this session learn from your peers and better understand the latency challenge.

The vast majority of Internet traffic is HTTP-based and content delivery networks (CDNs) are used to ensure delivery of popular content to large audiences. Instead of relying on proprietary streaming protocols and leaving users at the mercy of the internet bandwidth gods, the streaming media industry has evolved to leverage the dominant HTTP protocol to deliver media in small file chunks while utilising the player application to monitor download speeds and request chunks of varying quality in… Show more

The vast majority of Internet traffic is HTTP-based and content delivery networks (CDNs) are used to ensure delivery of popular content to large audiences. Instead of relying on proprietary streaming protocols and leaving users at the mercy of the internet bandwidth gods, the streaming media industry has evolved to leverage the dominant HTTP protocol to deliver media in small file chunks while utilising the player application to monitor download speeds and request chunks of varying quality in response to changing network conditions.

The technology had a huge impact because it allowed streaming media to be distributed far and wide using CDNs (over standard HTTP) and cached for efficiency, while at the same time eliminating annoying buffering and connectivity issues for customers. Show less

Virtual Reality (VR) and 360-degree are emerging as two of the most innovative live streaming trends, powering events such as sporting matches, concerts, corporate meetings, education, medicine, military applications, and many other areas. In this session, you’ll get hands-on with live demos and get more familiar with the technology as we walk through some common 360-degree live streaming workflows, including the Lollapalooza Berlin 2015 music festival that allowed virtual attendees to attend… Show more

Virtual Reality (VR) and 360-degree are emerging as two of the most innovative live streaming trends, powering events such as sporting matches, concerts, corporate meetings, education, medicine, military applications, and many other areas. In this session, you’ll get hands-on with live demos and get more familiar with the technology as we walk through some common 360-degree live streaming workflows, including the Lollapalooza Berlin 2015 music festival that allowed virtual attendees to attend the live concert series and be immersed with the band on stage. Most VR technologies use industry-standard streaming protocols that can be implemented with common streaming servers and platforms. We’ll discuss a couple of examples, including GIROPTIC and VideoStitch Vahana VR, and also review how playback is achieved using common player apps. Show less

In today's world, video content distribution on the Internet supports an ever-changing variety of delivery architectures. When IP multicast was developed more than 20 years ago, it seemed to be the silver bullet for one-to-many or many-to-many content-distribution applications. However, relatively few commercial multicast applications are in use. On the other hand, the increasingly widespread use of peer-to-peer (P2P) unicast video technology such as Viblast, Peer5, StreamRoot, Hive Streaming… Show more

In today's world, video content distribution on the Internet supports an ever-changing variety of delivery architectures. When IP multicast was developed more than 20 years ago, it seemed to be the silver bullet for one-to-many or many-to-many content-distribution applications. However, relatively few commercial multicast applications are in use. On the other hand, the increasingly widespread use of peer-to-peer (P2P) unicast video technology such as Viblast, Peer5, StreamRoot, Hive Streaming, Octoshape, and many others reinforce the real-world benefits of fully distributed peer-to-peer video delivery. In this paper, we discuss the pros and cons of multicast video distribution, and see why P2P unicast video may mean the death of multicast. Show less
