Discover In-Depth Pre-Conference Training at 流媒体西部
流媒体西部 will be held at the Westin Bonaventure November 19 和 20 (Tuesday 和 Wednesday) with pre-conference sessions on Monday the 18th. I'll be hosting or participating in two pre-conference sessions 和 three conference sessions. Here are the dates, times, 和 descriptions.
第一次会前会议， Introduction to ABR Production 和 Delivery, is a focused onboarding session for those new to streaming media, both within the industry 和 in the corporate space. If you or any others in your shop need a quick introduction to ABR streaming 和 associated concepts, consider this three-hour session which is scheduled for Monday, 11月18日上午9点.
I excerpted two mini-lessons from the course 你可以下载 as a preview. The first identifies the optimal x264 encoding preset by showing the encoding time/quality tradeoff for each preset. The bottom line is that if you’re using the slow or even medium preset, you might be able to save encoding time with minimal quality impact by switching to the fast preset. 你可以 下载讲义.
The other lesson identifies 和 defines the components of a typical OTT workflow, 包括编码, 包装, 数字版权管理, QoS, 体验质量, 和球员, then identifies the primary vendors for each product or service. If you’re trying to underst和 how the buzzwords 和 companies fit together, 你会发现它很有用, 和 你可以下载.
Later in the day, I’m teaching a session entitled Objective Quality Metrics 2D 和 3D: What They Are, How to Compute Them, 和 How to Use Them. This is a wonky course on what objective metrics are 和 do, 和 how to use them to benchmark encoders 和 codecs 和 to identify the optimal encoding presets 和 other encoding parameters. If you're been yearning for a deep dive into metrics like VMAF 和 SSIMPLUS 和 tools like rate-distortion curves 和 BD-metrics, 这是给你的. 有一个 关于指标调优的预览课 你可以下载. This three-hour session is Monday, November 18 at 1:30 PM 和 will involve lots of h和s-on testing.
For those who can’t make the pre-conference session on metrics, I’m also presenting a conference session entitled How-To Fine-Tune Your Encoding With Objective Quality Metrics on Tuesday, Tuesday, November 19 from 10:30 AM to 11:15 AM. This session is a high-level introduction to metrics such as VMAF 和 SSIMPLUS, 能够产生度量标准的工具, 和 applying the data to identify the optimal encoding parameters, 构建编码阶梯, or choose the best codec or encoding tool.
One topic crucial to all streaming producers is per-title encoding. If you’re considering deploying a per-title technology, you should check out a panel I’m hosting entitled 标题编码的应用 (Tuesday, November 19: 4:30 PM to 5:15 PM). 在讨论过程中, Bitmovin, 创作, 和 Mux will describe the mechanics of their per-title systems 和 share case studies about how per-title encoding has saved b和width 和/or improved quality of experience for their customers. The companies will provide hard data on how per-title encoding has helped their respective customers, which should be of great value to potential implementors.
最后一节课是 Hardware Transcoding Solutions for the Cloud. 会议期间, I’ll detail the results of quality 和 performance tests performed on codecs from Intel, 英伟达, 和NGCodec相比x264和x265. If you’re considering your options for cloud transcoding for live events 和 similar applications, 这节课是给你的. It’s scheduled for Wednesday, November 20 from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM.
