SMW '18:蒂姆·西格林回顾西部流媒体的亮点

以下是采访全文:

蒂姆Siglin: 欢迎回到steam Media West 2018的尾声. 我想简单回顾一下这周的采访. 过去两天我们做了近20个采访. 我们和Twitch的人谈过了. 我们已经和微软的人谈过了, 很多公司, 大公司, 还有小公司. 主流化 was the company that we talked to and First Tube was a startup that we talked to. 我们还有来自女性流媒体组织的代表, which we were really happy yesterday to see a very large turnout at their meetup. 大概有20个左右的人在这里.

人数持续增长. 随着队伍的壮大，我们不得不不停地给他们拍照, 所以, 总的来说，这是一部不错的电视剧. 由此产生了一些趋势. One, VR, which was a really hot topic a year ago, is pretty much nonexistent. 我想我们上次采访Mark Alamares总结了这一点. VR has quite a ways to go, but mixed reality is moving forward being driven by eSports. 电子竞技是第二大话题. That is a very large audience, both of content creators and consumers who require very low latencies. 延迟, 如果在传统的一对多流中这是一个可以接受的问题, 当涉及到双向或互动时，这是不是一个可以接受的问题.

Interactive is probably the third big trend that was talked about where when you have low latency, 你可以做体育博彩之类的事情, 拍卖, 押注, even polls and chats that happen in realtime as opposed to happening 15 or 30 seconds later with the way that traditional streaming used to be.

最后，微服务被讨论了很多. 第一天, 第一天的前半部分, 会上有许多关于微服务的小组讨论和讨论. I think it was best described yesterday by Mark Russell at MediaKind who said that an echo system was the way to think about microservices where you can move enhancements rapidly on one module or add features on another module in a way that you couldn't do any old monolithic structures.

The understanding there is that that means that cloud computing has actually reached streaming feature set parity where before it had always been the on premise equipment that had higher features. 然后, I guess the last thing that really fascinated me today was we had Roger Pantos from Apple, 谁在现场谈论HLS. He's the inventor of HLS and indeed he pointed it out right at the beginning of his presentation, 但他做了一个关于如何让HLS更好工作的小型学校讲座. Given the fact that it's the de facto standard in the industry for segment-based video delivery, it was really nice to have him come and provide some of the technical details and ways to think about using manifest files and the like.

再一次, 我是蒂姆·西格林, 流媒体杂志特约编辑, 非营利组织“帮助我”的创始人兼执行董事! Stream, wishing all of you who've been at the show safe travels as you go home. 对于那些一直在网上观看的人, we hope that you'll get a chance to look through a number of the other videos that we've done for interviews throughout the last two days and then also look at 0111397.com over the next few weeks because edited versions of those will go up as well as videos of some of the sessions that were done. 大家晚上愉快吗.
