The new Sensor Open System Architecture (SOSA) being spearheaded by the Air Force, Army, and Navy seeks to develop standards and architectures that provide uniformity, interoperability, and open architectures while simultaneously driving down procurement and operational costs for new C4ISR platforms.

This one-hour Technical Webinar from the editors of Tech Briefs Media examines the impact this new initiative will have on OpenVPX. Three of the industry's leading experts provide insight on this important topic.

Delivering a consistently high-quality video experience to consumers is a huge endeavor for broadcasters and distributors because it requires them to navigate an increasingly complex ecosystem – fraught with multiple devices and screen sizes, various operating systems and, perhaps most importantly, different encoding schemes.

This webinar will look at the challenges faced by major broadcasters, pay-TV providers and online video providers when it comes to navigating the various encoding standards such as MPEG-DASH, MPEG 4/H.264, and HEVC.  

Specifically, we look at the pros and cons of the various encoding standards and discuss how they can efficiently process and package and transport IP video to the end device.  Will there ever be a unifying standard for online video encoding?

And if not, what does this mean for video providers?  Can distributors and broadcasters meet the growing requirements for delivering IP video to various different devices without one consistent standard? How will providers be impacted by growing demand for 4K/UHD video?

1. Will there ever be a unifying standard for online video encoding? Which one is most likely to be widely adopted?

2. If not, what does this mean for video providers? Can distributors and broadcasters meet the growing requirements for delivering IP video to various different devices without one consistent standard?

3. How will providers be impacted by growing demand for 4K/UHD video? (Note: can be tailored depending on the type of providers speaking at the event, e.g. broadcast/OTT providers, ecosystem providers, encoders, etc.)

4. Where can providers realize the best cost savings in encoding/transcoding?

IoT applications in every industry are abounding. Embedded systems, tools, and cloud services companies are responding with a variety of hardware, software, and development kits to accelerate IoT development. Is the IoT application itself represent enough differentiation? Or must there be features and capabilities within the app to provide differentiation at the cost of time to market? Join us as a panel of IoT experts discuss buy versus innovate trade-offs with IoT application to balance differentiation with time to market pressures.

This webinar introduces one of several new medical applications based on the Kontron COMe-cSE6 with a SoC (system-on-chip) of the 2^nd Generation  AMD G-Series. Attendees will not only gain a better understanding of the major differences in technology they will also able to identify the most appropriate framework for building their professional, medical-grade image processing systems.
