Shout-out to our Playback Pioneers Facilitators: The Power Behind Streaming Innovation! ✨ When we talk about smooth streaming experiences, there’s a lot happening behind the scenes that makes it all possible. In our Playback Pioneers 2024 report, released last month, we take a moment to recognise the facilitators—the amazing groups and alliances that are helping to drive the future of video streaming. These aren’t just supporters of innovation; they’re leading it. 🔧 RDK is out there revolutionising how video services are deployed, while the HESP Alliance is making ultra-low-latency streaming the new norm. And that’s just the beginning… Meet just a few of the other game-changers who are pushing the boundaries: ▫️MPAI – Using AI to make media coding smarter ▫️XR Sports Alliance (Accedo.tv, HBS, Qualcomm) – Transforming how we experience sports with Extended Reality ▫️Greening of Streaming – Leading the charge to make streaming more sustainable ▫️5G Broadcast Collective – Exploring 5G’s potential for live video delivery (super exciting stuff!) These groups are shaping the future of streaming tech, building connections, and making sure the next wave of video innovation is sustainable, immersive, and accessible to everyone. Oh, and our own The Bristol Media and Entertainment Mixer, along with the fantastic work being done by Rise, Faultline, and Omdia—all driving important conversations across the industry.

And that's a wrap for Mixer number 2🎤💥! A massive thank you to everyone who came down last night. It was our pleasure to be able to host discussions with some M&E icons, who together with their teams, are driving positive change and innovation in the industry. Thank you to Tanja Lichtensteiger, Sadie Groom, Sophia Vahdati, Nick Fellingham and Matt Stagg for joining us. With our very own Tommy Flanagan taking the helm as moderator, we broke down a number of core topics facing our industry and heard insights including how we tackle D&I with Rise, the future of live-streaming events at Condense, the vision of innovation with the BBC and how the stats match up from Digital i. When you take all of that and combine it with an abundance of drinks, pizza, and good company - it makes for a great night! We'll be releasing more footage, including both discussions very soon. Until then, catch a snapshot of the evening below ⬇️ Planning is now underway for our next Mixer.
