On October 22, 2018, Beijing: Digital Media Software and Service Leader RealNetworks (NASDAQ Code: RNWK), said in the LiveVideoStack Forum held in Beijing, China, China is currently in the global OTT field, RealNetworks continues Promote video technology innovation, with advanced codec programs (CODEC), excellent streaming media and computer vision technology, train expressions. By working with CIBN and STARSCHINA, providing Chinese users with clearer, smoother, faster viewing experience, RealNetworks is picking up OTT's wave.
RealNetworks Chief Technology REZA RASSOOL was invited to express a speech on the forum, discuss the issues facing the OTT industry and the corresponding solution.
Reza mentioned that the rapidly growing market is facing many business and technology weighing and challenges. Including: Operators must sacrifice quality in order to reduce CDN costs; during the process from IPTV to OTT, operators lose the control of the decoding, because they can't control what codec programs support for consumer equipment; despite HEVC performance Nice, but its patent is complex and risk, and HEVC's patented pool does not provide any customer support.
For the above problems, RealNetworks developed a RealMediaHDTM (RMHD) codec program, which is superior to HEVC, and allows operators to deploy them as part of the OTT application. RMHD product kits include:
Convenient to apply developers, you can place RMHD codecs and players into the realmedia android SDK in OTT and mobile apps.
OEM SDK integrated into the mobile phone system
Windows version encoding tool for consumers or short trials, and Linux version of the commercial use
Ffmpeg library
FPGA decoder reference design for chip development
RealMedia HD is a leader in decoding field.
RMHD is a software-defined codec program that implements the best balance between quality and efficiency. Compared with H.265 and VP9, the RMHD file is smaller, the software code is faster, which means higher efficiency. High resolution native support 4K and 8K. The CPU consumes low and friendly. Battery consumption only increases by 8-11% compared to the H.264 software decoder. Moore Law ensures that software codec continuously improve performance and provides larger equipment coverage.
In addition, the RMHD codec is an ideal choice for low delay HLS stream due to low complexity, short PBBP inter-inter-block dependence and high compression efficiency. It is also cdn friendly, only standard HTTP / 1.1 protocol; it can also be easily integrated with P2P solutions.
RealNetworks is a strategic choice for CIBN.
According to EMARKETER's data, China has nearly 249 million people to watch video through non-traditional cable TV, and this market is still booming: It is expected that the user's penetration rate of Tencent video, iQiyi and Youku potatoes will be 75.3%, 70.3% and 61.6% respectively. As the number of users increases, the demand for HD video and smooth playback is also continuously increased.
In the face of rapid growth market, RealNetworks has strategically cooperated with CIBN Internet TV, and set up HD video supported by RealMedia® HD encoding technology on the "CIBN HD Movies and Television" and its subsidiaries. Zone.
Reza said: "RMHD enables service operators to enhance user experience, providing higher video quality, saving CDN costs, extending HD video services to a wider range of coverage."
In this forum, RealNetworks also introduces its highly accurate facial identification platform SAFR, which can be used by artificial intelligence, can be used in conjunction with IP cameras and ready-made hardware, real-time matching people. Specially designed to identify faces under true world conditions, including people in motion, dim light, and occlusion; it can handle various changes, including masks, makeup, glasses, hairstyles, and aging. This technology enables the system to provide industry-leading accuracy and detailed analysis, and can reliably match millions of faces within one second.
