The Woes of Device Fragmentation and What To Do About It
Tuesday, October 26, 2021 at 10:00am (PT)
Webinar Recording
Topics Covered
- What are the streaming differences between mobile phones, connected devices, SmartTVs, laptops, browsers, and apps? Player? Format requirements?
- As devices are upgraded (new operating systems or other changes), how are the changes tracked so they can be addressed within the delivery workflow?
- How is testing carried out against multiple devices and platforms?
- What are some of the ways having to support multiple devices complicates being able to provide a high QoE?
- Does supporting multiple devices make reporting and analytics more complex? How are sessions carried across them?
- Quibi failed earlier this year but it exposed a question: do the different devices require specific streaming experiences? If so, does that further complicate the workflow?
- Are there ways we can improve the support of multiple devices? Metadata? Automation? AI?
- As streaming grows within emerging markets, which often have older generation devices, how does it complicate the delivery workflow?
- Obviously, the devices themselves may have special requirements for streaming, but the environment may be an issue too (i.e., variable bandwidth networks, bad connections, etc.). How are other device-specific factors like bandwidth addressed when trying to provide a great viewer experience?
- As far as security is concerned, do different devices matter or is it just a “one-size-fits-all” approach to keeping the stream secure?
