Introduction Artificial intelligence has traditionally been built on top of centralized cloud infrastructure. Data is collected on devices, sent to remote servers for processing, and then returned with a result. For years, this model has powered everything from recommendation systems to image recognition. But a fundamental shift is underway, and it is happening faster than […]
Live streaming has become ubiquitous, with all major service providers of TV Everywhere, OTT streaming and social media networks offering live audio video feeds. When it comes to video quality, consumers today expect nothing but the best. The margin for error is even lower with live streaming. While the primary challenge is to ensure live video […]
Content Adaptive Encoding drives significant bitrate savings. Here are six questions that will help you gain better understanding of an effective CAE solution. The Holy Grail of video encoding continues to be an optimal balance between perceptual quality and compression efficiency. The quest for achieving a perfect trade-off between the two factors inspires us to […]
Your premium content requires effective HDCP protection. Take a look at how you can drive secure content flow between HDCP connected devices over wired and wireless interfaces like Miracast – even in the absence of complex TrustZone mechanisms. While consumer appetite for 4K content continues to rise, content creators face the need to protect their […]
VMAF shows good correlation with MOS, promising to get better in future to serve as a consistent perceptual video quality metric for content adaptive encoding The fundamental objective of most Content Adaptive Encoding (CAE) solutions is to optimize bandwidth without significantly reducing perceptual quality. While traditional fidelity metrics such as PSNR are well accepted as […]
The constrained automotive turf offers unique opportunities for video innovations that could pave the way for more sophisticated car head units Like many of you, I spend the most amount of time inside my car, when away from work or home. The saving grace is, while not yet the living room on wheels that it […]
While newer, better technologies from the likes of Apple and Google are more popular, Miracast is still relevant, serving as an essential part of an OEM’s screen sharing and connectivity solutions By enabling seamless integration of smart devices with TVs, vehicles and other screens, screen mirroring and connectivity technologies have completely redefined infotainment and communication […]
Preliminary results of algorithmic improvements in libvpx to improve quality
State-of-the-art platforms to enable rapid growth in advanced video formats like HEVC 2017 will perhaps be our busiest year at the IBC show yet. Over the next four days, we will be engaging with several industry players to define the future of their products and solutions, and in turn the future of video encoding itself. […]
Key factors that enable scalability Why chunked encoding? One of the biggest challenges with on-demand video is delivering the most optimal content for distribution. While multiple ABR representations, higher resolutions like 4K, higher frame rates and newer compression formats like HEVC and VP9 contribute to improvements in user experience, the encoding process gets increasingly complex […]
