Video compression technology, specifically codecs, have advanced significantly in recent years, enabling large video files to be compressed efficiently. These advancements allow video files to be transported and stored more easily. Yet codecs aren’t only a critical element of the media and entertainment industry, they’re also being used in medical imaging for diagnostics within the healthcare sector.
Broadpeak – Sustainable strategies to optimize streaming and maximize revenue
As the competition for audience share intensifies and high-scale live event streaming grows at an unprecedented pace, broadcasters and streaming platforms face mounting pressures to balance infrastructure investment with profitability. According to AppLogic Network’s 2025 Global Internet Phenomena Report, video traffic continues to represent the largest application category by volume, with users downloading an average 5.63GB per day and the top 10 traffic days in 2024 all coinciding with a live streaming sporting event. Live streaming is pushing networks to their limits while driving intense energy consumption requirements.
A Brief Discussion on JPEG-XS Light Compression Remote Production
Remote production has become an important technological development direction in the broadcasting industry in recent years. JPEG-XS technology can be regarded as a very representative light compression technology. In the recent years of remote production trials, JPEG-XS light compression technology has been tried in intranet, leased line and SD-WAN public network environments. In this article, the feasibility of combining JPEG-XS light compression technology with SD-WAN public network technology is demonstrated using the example of a live broadcast report on the 2024 General News Channel’s “New Archaeological Discoveries at Wuwangdun”.
VisualOn – Harnessing the power of content-adaptive encoding: a revolution in video streaming
As digital content consumption reaches unprecedented levels, the demand for efficient video streaming and storage solutions is more critical than ever. Content-Adaptive Encoding (CAE) emerges as a game-changer, revolutionizing video delivery by dynamically adjusting encoding parameters based on the unique characteristics of each video. This innovative approach leads to significant improvements in video quality, bandwidth efficiency, and storage optimization, all without disrupting existing workflows.
Ateme – Reducing streaming’s carbon footprint through innovation
The video streaming industry, which now accounts for 60-80% of global internet traffic, is facing increasing scrutiny due to its significant contribution to carbon emissions. According to a report from The Shift Project, internet activity is responsible for approximately 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions, a figure that is expected to rise as demand for streaming services grows. This surge in video consumption has driven the expansion of data centers, network infrastructure, and consumer devices, all of which add to the industry’s environmental impact. In response, companies like Ateme and other video processing vendors are focusing on innovations such as advanced video codecs, efficient compute platforms, and AI-driven optimizations to reduce data size, energy consumption, and overall carbon footprint in the streaming ecosystem.
MainConcept – Juggling bitrate, latency and quality in broadcast
The broadcast industry is an incredibly exciting and dynamic place to be right now. Digital transformation is driving media companies to rethink their workflows and innovate, and as the industry continues its transition to IP infrastructure, many are adopting new technologies. Streaming has taken the broadcast industry by storm and has now reportedly overtaken traditional TV and cable viewing. But for a seamless viewing experience, content needs to be delivered with low latency, so viewers see the action on screen, as it happens. Getting the right balance can be challenging to achieve.
Zixi – Factors contributing to the TCO of streaming at scale
In the dynamic world of video streaming, media organizations are constantly seeking efficient and cost-effective solutions to manage their large-scale implementations. One of the key metrics that has to be met to validate any purchase decisions is Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). And, like Maslov’s famous Hierarchy of Needs, TCO analysis must start with foundational requirements.
Nanocosmos – 2023 IBC BaM Award winner, Project, collaboration, event or other innovation

Product and services provided have reached a significant milestone: on grounds laid in 1998, various innovations have been carefully layered to a Cloud Solution that enables connection and interaction with large audiences based on real-time. Especially with the spike in virtually broadcasted events it has become apparent that, next to the adaptability and reach, the following feature stands out: delivery of interactive experience anywhere in the world without giving up high quality.
Agile Content – How encouraging user engagement can help OTT companies decrease their ecological footprint
As we approach the end of the summer, marked as the warmest ever recorded, it’s clear that focusing on the environment and sustainability is crucial for all organizations and businesses. The TV and media industry has a dual responsibility. On one hand, it’s crucial to provide the public with accurate information about the situation, and on the other hand, it’s equally important to address the sustainability impact of producing and distributing TV and video content.
Sustainable Broadcast Transmission
Despite the continuing growth in audiences for streaming content, the established broadcasters remain popular. Indeed, market predictions are that, while streaming services will gain viewers and revenue, traditional linear television will remain stable; Statista even suggests a slight rise in daily viewing hours.
