Event Details

These days, almost all content must be designed with streaming applications in mind, and almost all systems must be designed with the goal of latency minimization. In this power hour, we will discuss the factors in a streaming system that contribute to latency, and learn which ones we can control, and which ones we can't. We will go over basic system design principles to help minimize latency and discuss the trade-offs necessary for ultra-low latency systems. 

Join the March Power Hour to:

• Identify the factors that contribute to latency
• Learn which ones can be controlled and how
• Understand the system design principles to help minimize latency
• Recognize how to balance need for low latency with the trade-offs inherent

Investments in streaming media are expected to increase in the post COVID-19 world and the proliferation of audiovisual content is driving demand for video services, according to AVIXA’s IOTA report. Corporate live events producers and video production service providers can get the latest on key trends and technologies for AV content creation and distribution in AVIXA’s monthly Content Production & Streaming Power Hour. Learn more about the Content Production & Streaming Power Hour series.
