Just a quick note to say how excited I am to be the keynote speaker at Streaming Tech Sweden in Stockholm on November 22, 1017. The day-long show, which is sponsored by Swedish consultancy Eyevinn Technology, will help technology managers, architects, developers, and product managers understand how to deploy key streaming technologies.
Here’s a discussion with the conference organizers, Magnus Svensson and Jonas Birme from Eyevinn Technology.
My keynote will explore the current status of codecs and where they all fit in. Three years ago, most experts projected a smooth transition from H.264 to H.265, but that was interrupted by outrageous HEVC royalties, impressive performance by VP9, and the formation of the Alliance for Open Media. With AV1 set to launch around the time of the show, streaming publishers have multiple codecs to consider, including H.264, HEVC, VP9, and AV1, not to mention others like V-Nova’s PERSEUS, Divideon’s xvc, and even RealNetwork’s RealMedia HD. I’ll try to bring some order to this chaos with the latest in cost, performance, and implementation details.
