November 2016 Summaries

Mux will be attending AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas from November 29 to December 2, 2016. The company's representatives will be available for meetings and demos of their video performance analytics platform. They recently introduced new features such as a comparison UI and global scoring, aiming to improve viewer experience and quantify the performance of video streams. To schedule a meeting with Mux founders at re:Invent, email [email protected]. Additionally, attendees are recommended to join the Demuxed Happy Hour event on November 30th from 5-7pm for networking opportunities in the video technology industry.

Mux has introduced two new features to enhance its performance analytics product. The first feature is a metric comparison tool that allows users to compare all metrics across two or more specific values, similar to e-commerce product comparison grids. The second feature is a global benchmark, providing customers with an idea of how their video streaming performance compares to the overall market by displaying a "Mux Customer Average" baseline on metrics charts. These features aim to provide publishers with valuable insights into their video streaming performance and help them make informed decisions.

The Demuxed conference featured a discussion on hardware video encoding in the cloud, focusing on recent updates from hardware vendors and their integration with cloud providers. The speaker shared insights on deploying hardware encoding using containerization technologies like Docker, based on his experience in deploying video encoding services, GPU rendering processes, and Docker containers to cloud providers.

The text discusses a presentation given by the author at Demuxed, a conference for video engineers. The speaker shared their experience with live video systems and RTMP protocol before delving into WebRTC. They found that while WebRTC is more complex than RTMP, it offers greater power and functionality. In their talk, they outlined key technologies behind WebRTC, explaining how they work and why they are part of the stack. The author also mentioned Mux's ongoing evaluation of new technologies and their relevance to the video industry, including WebRTC. They invited feedback at a future SF Vid Tech meetup.
