Adopting Adaptive Video Streaming
Join IneoQuest, PeerApp and Light Reading for an in-depth discussion of the challenges of Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) video services.
Webinar Overview:
Cable operators and telco TV providers have long relied on MPEG-2 transport and UDP streaming to deliver video-on-demand programming. Now, as they add Internet video services and pipe video to other devices, service providers are looking at Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) streaming technology common in the Web video world. ABR enables video to run smoothly as bandwidth fluctuates by chopping video assets into tiny chunks, which are then stitched back together by software clients in the various video display devices. But ABR also raises unique technical and operational challenges for traditional video providers and other network operators tasked to deliver content to subscribers. This webinar addresses ABR's possibilities and challenges and includes techniques for video providers to measure and increase the quality of service delivery to subscribers while minimizing the impact on network expansion.
