Does it seem like new streaming services are popping up almost daily? Well, you’re right; they are. And each with its own unique requirements for live streams they want to receive. All of these live stream destinations, each with its own set of variables, make it virtually impossible to automate the management of these streams.
Fortunately, a group within SMPTE has been working on an effort to try to fix this. We believe it is possible to rationalize and simplify these variables with a set of best practices. We also believe it’s possible to close some of the security holes that exist in today’s world of live stream distribution.
This SMPTE group will establish a set of Best Practices for Live Stream Distribution to simplify the process of standing up, securing, and maintaining live streams sent from content providers to streaming services. In this presentation, we’ll talk about what’s being done, who’s involved, and how to get involved.
