SMPTE Media Technology Summit

Join the best minds in the industry to explore the most exciting advancements in media and entertainment technology at the SMPTE Media Technology Summit!  The SMPTE Media Technology Summit is still the only industry event featuring Peer-Reviewed Technical Content, to ensure that the ideas presented are always relevant and accurate, from the experts in their fields.  Learn from our Synamedia experts, chosen by their peers:

Jan De Cock, Director Codec Development, will be presenting “Low-Complexity Quality Measurement for Real-Time Video Compression”, on Monday, October 24^th, from 12:45-1:15 pm

This session will provide an overview of the strengths and weaknesses of relevant video quality measurements, illustrating the complicated balance between the accuracy of VQ metrics and their computational complexity as applied to real-time scenarios.  Recent research regarding Machine Learning-based metrics will be presented as well as the trade-off between the accuracy and the complexity/costs of these ML-based techniques.

Gwendal Simon, Distinguished Software Architect, will be presenting, “Modelling the Value of JITEX: Just-in-time transcoding at the Edge”, on Thursday, October 27^th, from 2:30-3:00 pm.

Learn the benefits, opportunities and impact of just-in-time transcoding at the edge while evaluating the cost variables associated with the deployment of transcoders at the edge of the CDN and debunking the myths behind edge processing.
