All talks will be recorded and made available on Youtube initially exclusive to the attendees of this year's event.
The 2024 event will focus on the increased demand in efficient production, challenges of large scale live streaming, the increasing piracy and how you could protect your content. The event will also demystify the codec landscape and how to use AI in sports video production.
In this talk, Johan Lundqvist and Andreas Westerlind from Solidsport will present how Solidsport started a streaming revolution in 2016. You will also learn more about how to live stream more than 3,000 matches in a weekend and how Solidsport has been able to generate new revenue on more than EUR 10,000,000 to their partners via streaming. You will also get a concrete example of how AI already revolutionize sports production.
Large language models (LLMs) have sparked tremendous interest in recent years, with examples such as the GPT, Gemini, LLaMA, and Mistral series receiving widespread public attention, and the applications of LLM based conversational agents (chatbots) rapidly expanding beyond general purpose tasks. While modern chatbots already support multimodality, handling various media modalities such as text, image, audio, and video to an extent, there is room for improvement in terms of contextual understanding and domain specificity. In this talk, we discuss how association football (soccer), one of the biggest sources of sports multimedia content on the Internet, can benefit from the development of custom generative AI chatbots. We describe our experiences with various data curation, fine tuning, prompt engineering, and retrieval-augmented generation strategies, for the purpose of developing a "Soccer Chatbot" able to interact and converse in natural language with different target audiences such as fans, trainers, athletes, referees, scouts, etc., and undertake tasks such as automatic gameplay analysis, summarization, and highlight search and retrieval, based on an enhanced multimodal understanding of soccer games. We provide proof-of-concept implementations and disseminate lessons learned.
After a short run through the history of video codecs, this talk will focus on the current coding landscape. What codecs are out there, how widely are they supported and where is adoption headed? Finally, we will dare to take a look at what is on the horizon for the future of video.
LALIGA has played an active role fighting against piracy over the years, using PR, lobby, raising legal claims and most importantly, technology. Together with Sportian, it uses cutting edge software underpinned by AI to prevent the theft of live and on-demand content in any digital environment, protecting the value of the entertainment industry. Backed by industry recognition (Best Anti-piracy solution in SportsPro OTT Awards 2019/20/22), these technology services are not just used by LALIGA but global entities like Sky, Tigo and Wimbledon, as well as multiple sports leagues, clubs and broadcasters. The ability to capture and eliminate pirated content reached a nw threshold when LALIGA partnered with Globant to create Sportian, a Joint Venture that combines sports content creators with expert analysts and new technology development. Not only does it work with the world's largest operators to detect and remove content in seconds, it drives traffic to legitimate sources, increasing revenues. In this presentation, representatives from LALIGA and Sportian will share this journey, the critical issues affecting piracy today and how broadcasters are innovating to stay one step ahead
In today's digital age, the consumption of video entertainment through streaming platforms has surged, leading to an exponential rise in streaming piracy. Recent data reveals that the global cost of digital video piracy is expected to reach an astonishing $52 billion by 2028. Specifically, in Scandinavian countries, there's been a notable increase in video piracy, with Sweden alone experiencing a significant uptick in unauthorized streaming activities, posing a substantial threat to local and international content creators and distributors. Mediavision survey revealing that a quarter of Swedes aged 15 to 74 engage in content piracy, marking a return to the high levels of piracy last observed in 2016. This persistent trend underscores the complexity of streaming piracy, which is not merely a question of providing legal alternatives but involves a multifaceted approach to deterrence and enforcement.
The Common Access Token specification was released by the CTA this month, aimed at resolving the long-standing problem of achieving interoperable content protection in a multi-CDN world. How does this new specification help content distributors protect their media across multiple CDNs? This talk reveals the inner workings of CATs, including their encoding, transmission and renewal. We will explore via demonstration the features of CAT-based token protection including enforcing claims around issuer, audience, expiration, network IP, geo-location, time, URL and others. Is catnip a thing? Join us to find out!
This presentation highlights technical aspects of new, innovative advertising technologies and how they are deployed in SVOD and TVOD streaming offerings. The technical solutions presented will include e.g. virtual product placements and in-content ads. The presenter, James Wardle has experience from technical deployments with multiple content owners and will share hands-on solutions and best practices to enable effective content monetization
In the realm of ultra-low latency demands, navigating through unreliable networks presents formidable challenges. This talk delves into a compelling customer case featuring hundreds of locations interconnected via consumer networks, where real-time content display on large screens demands minimal latency. However, the network landscape introduces formidable hurdles such as latency jitter, packet loss, and more. This talk unpacks the profound impact of these network instabilities on WebRTC, while exploring innovative workarounds through SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) and an HESP-based solution leveraging HTTP/1.1. We'll also dissect the efficacy of these approaches and the comparison between HTTP/1.1 with HTTP/3 and QUIC protocols. Join us as we explore strategies to conquer latency barriers amidst network turbulence, offering valuable insights for the streaming tech community.
In a collaborative presentation, we invite you to join us—representatives from two pioneering companies in the DRM domain—as we take the stage together, not as competitors, but as co-educators, to demystify the complexities and reveal the innovations behind DRM-protected WebRTC. This technical dialogue will be a dynamic exchange of insights, challenges, and forward-looking perspectives in the field of low latency media streaming and content security.
In this talk Jonas Birmé from Eyevinn will present examples on how a streaming test bed can be built out of managed open source components. Including SSAI live streams for verification of client side tracking and playback, live streams with deterministic errors introduced to validate how clients handles errors, and more.
Streaming platforms are massively complex software systems, involving numerous technical and behavioural variables that are very difficult to predict and/or outside of our control, the art for all streamers is hiding that complexity from viewers. Part of that art is how these systems are operated and managed day-to-day and prepared for major peaks in consumption demand, while generally being resilient to failure. This session will explore how we operate ITVX, plan for major events and prepare our playbooks to handle failure. We'll cover some of our preparatory work, the technical resiliency patterns used and some of the wider practices we employ during a major event.
