Streaming Video Operations
Overview
The Streaming Video Operations Working Group works to identify best practices and other solutions for real-world challenges experienced by streaming operators, service providers, and vendors. These solutions will be encapsulated in a series of Operations Memoranda. In addition, the group will pursue projects related to operational testing (such as workflow interoperability and player testing automations), tooling (such as open-source players features and conformance tools), and testing environments (such as the SVTA’s live low latency sandbox and self-service deployment scripts for cloud-based workflows). Finally, the group will operate a Slack channel which provides a forum for discussing operational concerns and challenges in real-world settings.
Objectives
The objectives of the group include:
- Management and participation within a Streaming Operations Forum (a Slack channel within the SVTA Slack instance). This forum will provide a place for streaming platform operators, service providers (CDNs and ISPs), and technology vendors to discuss and even troubleshoot real-world problems taking place during actual live events.
- Develop memoranda on operational best practices. These will be short, 1-2 page documents detailing specific operational problems encountered during live events and best practices for resolution.
- Manage one or more projects related to streaming operations. These can include the development of open-source interoperability testing frameworks, creation and development of tooling/testing suites, and work done in conjunction with other SDOs.
- Technology decisions made by streaming platform operators
- Vendors/suppliers and experiences with such companies
- General needs operators have regarding the industry’s vendors
- Operational challenges during events
- CDN or supplier pricing
- Audience numbers (total during an event and peak concurrency)
- Subscription/subscriber numbers
- Bandwidth
