  • The Nine Events That Shook The Codec World

Thursday, March 30, 2023 at 10:00am (PT)

Here we are, the beginning of 2023 and still no clear “winner” regarding how streaming is encoded. Although multiple codecs aren’t ideal for streaming workflow complexity, it’s also not the end of the world for operators who are thoughtful and careful about their selections. In this webinar, legendary streaming guy, Jan Ozer of NETINT, will discuss nine events that have shaken up the codec world over the past year and what they mean for streaming operators. He will also talk about where the industry stands in regards to codec implementation.
