Zoom is set to eliminate one of the worst aspects of video conferencing
November 02, 2020 14:22 - 714 KBZoom has unveiled a new feature that should make video conferencing more accessible, while reducing the likelihood of miscommunication. Courtesy of a collaboration with speech-to-text platform Otter.ai, Zoom meetings will now offer a live caption feature. With the option enabled, the presenter’s words will appear on-screen in near real-time (at a delay of roughly two seconds). The feature is designed primarily to allow users with hearing impairments to follow the thread of conver...
Soccer Telecast Ruined When AI-Controlled Camera Mistakes Ref's Bald Head For Ball - Slashdot
November 02, 2020 14:08 - 201 KBOh wait it's soccer. It will always be boring. And quite gay. I agree, because there is nothing camp at all about wearing oversized shoulder pads and a plastic hat so the wind doesn't mess up your hair. The names "offensive tackle" and "tight end" are not in any way suggestive. Plus it's a documented fact there has never been a gay NFL player, not a single one. Quite a lot appear to have become gay after NFL though, but they were definitely not gay whilst playing. I'm not anti-ga...
Forget Fastly: Akamai Technologies Is a Better Edge Computing Stock
October 31, 2020 11:56 - 1.86 MBFastly (NYSE:FSLY) has been generating impressive revenue growth over the last several quarters. And with its innovative solutions, the company remains positioned to profit from the expanding content delivery network (CDN) and edge computing markets it addresses. What's more, the stock is trading at a more than 40% discount compared with its October all-time highs. Yet Fastly's rival Akamai Technologies (NASDAQ:AKAM) represents a better investment opportunity despite its lower top-li...
The Role of Fog Computing in the Internet of Things
October 31, 2020 11:56 - 3.21 MBFog computing refers to a decentralized computing structure. The resources, including the data and applications, get placed in logical locations between the data source and the cloud. One of the advantages of fog computing is to keep many users connected to the internet at the same time. In essence, it offers the same network and services that cloud-based solutions provide, but with the added security of a decentralized network. Difference Between Cloud Computing and Fog Computing ...
Sony set to buy Crunchyroll for nearly $1bn
October 31, 2020 10:30 - 378 KBSony will pay almost $1bn to acquire Crunchyroll, the hugely-popular anime-streaming service available through both Xbox and PlayStation consoles. The PlayStation maker is in final negotiations to seal the deal with a $957m bid and is the only company in the running, Nikkei Asia reports. Sony already owns anime service Funanimation, which has a million subscribers, though this is dwarfed by Crunchyroll's three million subscribers and whopping 70m free members. Investing in anim...
Don't Believe the 5G Streaming Video Hype
October 30, 2020 02:08 - 4.88 MBDon't Believe the 5G Streaming Video Hype Type "5G better streaming" into your favourite search engine. The result? Seemingly endless arguments that 5G will lead to better streaming. Now inspect a few. When you look under the hood, these arguments for 5G benefitting streaming are—to a streaming professional —very weak. They typically centre on "speed." Last time I checked, the speed of electric signalling and propagation delay of such signals was still pretty close to the speed o...
The early internet kept showing us the future, and we rolled our eyes every time
October 29, 2020 18:15 - 3.96 MBIn Tales of the Early Internet, Mashable explores online life through 2007 — back before social media and the smartphone changed everything. "The future is here, it's just unevenly distributed," William Gibson famously wrote in 2003. With the benefit of 2020 hindsight, we can add this about the era he was describing: the future was also unevenly believed. Even when it was right in front of us, we couldn't see it through our assumptions. This was especially true of the things we wer...
Catching Up with VVC - Streaming Learning Center
October 28, 2020 17:19 - 1.83 MBVVC is one of the three codecs to be launched by MPEG in 2020. I wrote about VVC extensively here (business side) and here (technical side), and wanted to provide some quick updates. By way of background, codecs have two sides, the performance side, and the business side. In this short article, I’ll address both. Fraunhofer’s VVenC Sets New Standards in Accessibility and Usability I recently tested Fraunhofer’s VVC codec (VVenC) for Streaming Media Magazine. All was quite positiv...

Kubernetes Horror Stories
October 28, 2020 07:38 - 2.44 MBThundra sponsored this post. Kubernetes is a feature-rich, complex container management system that runs across all environments — multiple public clouds, on-premises, and hybrid. It’s no surprise, therefore, that Kubernetes is often the lead character in application or infrastructure horror stories. In this article, we introduce five such scary-but-true stories, which are described in full detail in our white paper. Warning: Even these abridged versions are not for the faint of ...
Is Limelight Networks' Post-Earnings Dip a Buying Opportunity?
October 28, 2020 07:35 - 1.7 MBLimelight Networks'(NASDAQ:LLNW) shareholders had legitimate reasons to fear third-quarter earnings. On Oct. 14, the competitor Fastly withdrew its full-year guidance and communicated surprisingly weak preliminary results because of reduced spending of some customers. That suggested lower-than-expected growth potential in the content delivery network (CDN) industry, which includes Limelight Networks. Those concerns were justified: Limelight Networks' stock plunged by more than 25% ...
How Event Industry Companies Are Pivoting Through Pandemic
October 28, 2020 07:32 - 1.94 MBAmong the countless difficulties COVID-19 has brought upon business, hosting live events is one of the biggest challenges. Because of the concern of spreading the virus, venues closed and many large gatherings were canceled to keep people safe and healthy. However, with the cancellation of in-person events, the demand for virtual events skyrocketed. Event companies, in particular, have had to pivot their approach to industry events, finding new ways to meet with stockholders, inves...

Audio’s Opportunity and Who Will Capture It — MatthewBall.vc
October 27, 2020 08:18 - 4.38 MBWhile the past 40 years tell a frustrating story in audio, the 100-year history is very different. Throughout the 20th and 21st century, audio has continually discovered new delivery mediums, formats and monetization models. This began with the launch of the radio broadcast in 1927, which blanketed the country in audio, extended with the transistor radio of the 1950s, which made audio truly portable and private, through to satellite, digital stores, and Spotify streams. Today, the au...

Takedown Troubles? Artists that get played, should get paid
October 22, 2020 13:53 - 598 KBArtists that get played should get paid. This is the foundation of the modern music ecosystem. When streamers and DJs are hit by music copyright takedowns on other platforms, it’s because those platforms have not – for whatever reason – secured the right music licenses. They are not paying the artists that are getting played. This is not the fault of musicians or labels. It’s down to the platforms. Often they encourage DJs and artists to use their platforms despite not having t...
The 2020 data and AI landscape
October 21, 2020 22:41 - 6.86 MBWhen COVID hit the world a few months ago, an extended period of gloom seemed all but inevitable. Yet many companies in the data ecosystem have not just survived but in fact thrived. Perhaps most emblematic of this is the blockbuster IPO of data warehouse provider Snowflake that took place a couple of weeks ago and catapulted Snowflake to a $69 billion market cap at the time of writing – the biggest software IPO ever (see the S-1 teardown). And Palantir, an often controversial data...

October 15, 2020 18:32 - 1.27 MBAfter rushing to become the first carrier to launch commercial 5G services anywhere in the world, top U.S. cellular company Verizon has spent two years struggling to spread 5G network hardware across the large American land mass, imperiling the next-generation technology’s domestic prospects.

Will we run out of new music?
October 14, 2020 17:47 - 925 KBAre we going to run out of tunes? After all, the melodic universe seems to be contained within such narrow parameters. There are only 12 notes within the Western scale (seven if you limit yourself to a mode, or only five if you’re writing a pentatonic crowd-pleaser) so it stands to reason that if you’re limited by these brutalities of musical fact, there can only be so many ways of combining them. That must be why so many popstars find themselves in court having to defend themselve...

Livestreaming: YouTube, Facebook Destroy Twitch In At Least One Critical Category
October 08, 2020 06:35 - 1.12 MBShare to Linkedin We watched almost 7.5 billion hours of live streaming content in the last three months, up 92% from last year. Amazingly, just one company owns a massive 91.1% share of all the hours streamed: the Amazon-owned Twitch. So Twitch is definitely the 900-pound gorilla of the live-streaming category. But rivals YouTube and Facebook are significantly ahead of Twitch on at least one important measure: hours watched per hour streamed. In fact, while Twitch has 10X more...

NVIDIA Uses AI to Slash Bandwidth on Video Calls
October 07, 2020 15:13 - 1.03 MBNVIDIA Research has invented a way to use AI to dramatically reduce video call bandwidth while simultaneously improving quality. What the researchers have achieved has remarkable results: by replacing the traditional h.264 video codec with a neural network, they have managed to reduce the required bandwidth for a video call by an order of magnitude. In one example, the required data rate fell from 97.28 KB/frame to a measly 0.1165 KB/frame – a reduction to 0.1% of required bandwidt...
Content Discovery Will Decide the Streaming Wars
October 05, 2020 11:27 - 1.76 MBWith the recent launches of Warner Media’s HBO Max and NBCUniversal’s Peacock, the entertainment streaming landscape is now more competitive than ever before.

October 01, 2020 13:12 - 1.27 MBToday, Twitch releases Soundtrack, a new product that allows streamers to play music while they’re live — or, at least, that’s the simplest way to explain it.

Wanted: More AV1 hardware support
September 18, 2020 01:27 - 3.02 MBOn the one hand, AV1 has seen strong progress in software decoders, such as browsers, but hardware support has been severely lacking. This is not an AV1 specific problem, being one that has plagued other codecs in their early lifecycles, but the heavyweight backing the codec enjoys from many of the world’s largest technology companies means that the availability of dedicated hardware remains something of a source of frustration for AOMedia members. To be sure, progress has been mad...
