As live event streaming explodes in popularity, latency—whether time to first frame or end-to-end—is the elephant in the room. Live event streams are competing not only with broadcast and cable, but also with social media, and viewers’ tolerance for long latency times is dwindling. At this session at the Live Streaming Summit, part of Streaming Media West show taking place on Nov. 2/3, you’ll learn about the various ways to reduce latency at all points in your live streaming workflow, from acquisition to delivery to video player.

We’ve had a panelist drop out of our VR panel at the Live Streaming Summit (www.livestreamingsummit.com), which is co-located with Streaming Media West. If you work with VR, either on the technical or creative side, live in the L.A./Orange County area, and are interested in speaking, please contact Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen at erics@streamingmedia.com. Here’s the session description:
Live Storytelling With Virtual Reality & 360° Video
VR and 360° offer brands and publishers new ways of telling stories and presenting live events to viewers. In order to be successful, though, there needs to be an understanding of not just the technology but the art of crafting immersive videos that will compel viewers to strap on that headset (or at least a Google Cardboard) for an experience that transcends traditional content. This panel features experts in both the content and technology to give attendees a full “field of view” into the emerging worlds of VR and 360° video.
The Streaming Media West show kicks off this week and we’ve got some great networking events taking place, November 1-3 in Huntington Beach, CA. Register online using code DR100 for a discounted pass.
