The Evolution of Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) Technology
An in-depth presentation on the evolution of Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) technology, hosted by Matthew Goldman, SVP Technology. With ABR initially designed for on-demand content, the design did not consider what would be needed to get ‘broadcast-like’ low latency and scalability for live video.
Key Considerations for Live Streaming
- Demand for Live TV on OTT: The increasing demand for live TV on over-the-top (OTT) streaming services
- Challenges with ABR: The need to address issues related to low latency and scalability to match broadcast standards
- Future of ABR in Live Streaming: Considerations for the industry to adapt the technology for evolving viewer expectations.
