Optimizing Video Analytics (August)
Thursday, August 27, 2020 at 10:00am (PT)
Streaming providers have long been focused on Quality of Experience metrics. KPIs like buffer ratio, time-to-first byte, and average bit rate. But there are a host of other metrics much deeper in the streaming workflow that must be captured, analyzed, and optimized in order to ensure the best possible viewer experience. These metrics, spanning encoders to CDNs, need to be included in the overall picture to assess and tackle problems before they become an issue for the end-customer. In this webinar, we will explore the many metrics that can be measured throughout the streaming workflow, best practices for consolidating and analyzing those metrics, and the technical challenges in capturing the data.
Webinar Recording
Topics Covered
This webinar addressed the following questions:
- What are the common QoE metrics being measured today? Do they paint a clear enough picture of the viewing experience and, if not, what else needs to be captured?
- What’s NOT being measured today, within the streaming workflow, that has an impact on QoE?
- In many cases, there are multiple SDKs within the player which are capturing QoE data (sometimes the same data). This can create bloat within the player. How do we fix this as an industry?
- Is the speed of data collection from the player important?
- With the explosion of ML and AI, what’s the state of automation as it relates to QoE data? Is the edge being used to effect action against QoE data captured from the player?
- What is the current state of QoE data visualization? Are dashboards making it easier for streaming operators to make quicker business decisions? If not, how can that be improved?
- With so many pieces of the streaming workflow throwing off data that can impact the viewing experience, how do we string it all together so that operations can follow the delivery path of a user’s session to identify the root cause?
- Is interoperability an issue with respect to “seeing the forest for the trees?” In other words, how does an OTT platform operator bring together different data sets from different vendors into a single, cohesive view of QoE?
- How far away is the industry from getting behind a standard set of QoE metrics?
- What measurement technologies or approaches are on the horizon for the next 12 to 24 months? Is there anything the industry can expect to see which may solve some of the issues at hand?
