Abstract:

Today, despite differences in details, many companies are approaching the multi-screen home solution for video delivery using an architecture that is surprisingly similar to one proposed by FCC’s Allvid. There is a lot of interest in home gateway type solutions feeding the IPTV or IPSTB.
The network topology in the home to distribute video would build upon combinations of RJ45, coax and WiFi, but the underlying technology that has the widest reach for the largest number of screens requires targeted video conversions for seamless delivery.
The talk will be about how manipulating video at an intrinsic level (including scaling, transcoding, bitrate reduction) can be an important component to achieve ubiquitous video and audio distribution within the home network.
I will also demonstrate how smartphones and tablets watching broadcast HDTV can be enabled as a technology today, all the pieces exist to manufacture gateways capable of streaming multiple streams.
