IBC365 webinar: Reimagining playout – building a tech stack that prioritises service agility

As audience viewing habits continue to evolve at lightning speed, the demand for agile, cloud-native, and scalable video distribution and playout has never been greater. Cloud is vital for streamlined, adaptable, and scalable playout operations, but unless matched with equally flexible managed services, operational models, and vendor SLAs, true adaptability to viewing habits will be elusive.

Sponsored by Arqiva, the webinar will explore the rapidly evolving world of playout, tracking the market drivers which demand flexibility, automation and scalability, including: 

• The next phase of playout technology – what is the future?
• Moving towards an operating model that prioritises service agility to reduce the complexity of broadcast and streaming playout operations
• Balancing cloud vs on-prem – the impact of a virtual MCR trials
• The impact of cloud-based playout on broadcast organisations – the end of an era?
