The New Possible Series: Media and Entertainment

In a span of three months, we had the opportunity to run a large–screen virtual reality (VR) display at the AeroDef, Rapid + TCT, and Smart Manufacturing Experience events. As an exhibitor with my Mechdyne teammates, we supported the Society of Manufacturing Engineers’ (SME) efforts to help organizations realize the potential for VR and augmented reality (AR) technologies and improve their digital workflows. Although these tradeshows took place weeks apart, we noticed attendees were asking similar questions at each event. Many of them had no experience at all with VR, while some organizations had experience with VR – just not in manufacturing. They were all especially interested in what was possible and what to consider.

Join us for a discussion of major trends in the U.S. OTT sector including topics such as the growth and potential market size of ad-supported video as well as leading subscription OTT services, new launches and growing competition. Balancing latency and scale, for instance, has been an identified conundrum from the outset. When progressive downloads of MP4 files gave way to true streaming via Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP), Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP), and Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP), there was a compelling need to use the infrastructure of content delivery networks (CDNs) to scale up these low-latency, session-based unicast streams to large (but still small compared to broadcast) audiences.
