This STREAMup was held on September 29, 2020 from 4:30pm until 6:00pm (EDT).
Topic
The topic for this STREAMup was The topic for this meeting was content. Although that's quite broad, content is at the heart of any streaming platform and there are a variety of technical challenges related with acquisition (how does the content get into the platform), delivery (how does the content move through the workflow and eventually to the viewer), and operations (how can platform engineers see into the systems responsible for storing, moving, and transforming content). Of course, the technical challenges related to content become even greater with the scale of the platform. The presenters in this STREAMup detailed a challenge they faced with handling, monitoring, or moving content within a major OTT platform..
Testimonials
These meetups are a great way to stay connected to the industry when conferences and other face-to-face events are still in the distant future. The presentations have been informative and engaging, and the trivia is entertaining. Looking forward to the next one!
The SVA East Coast meetup was a lot of fun. While we’ve all been facing ongoing travel restrictions, it’s been possible to get great information from webinars and Zoom meetings, but the social aspect of SVA meetings is just as important as the great information that is shared. The group online trivia game was great (and we even had some pretty heated competition going on) and was a good ice breaker, and the platform chosen for the virtual social gathering was intuitive and interesting to use while also facilitating a comfortable mechanism for real discussions. Thanks to the SVA for putting this together!
