Look to the Cloud: Enabling Seamless Video in a Multidevice World

Jeff Malkin

The increasing complexity of successfully delivering video across a multitude of fragmented device platforms presents a significant challenge. Preparing a high volume of video content for multiscreen consumption requires massive computing resources equipped for high-speed processing. It also requires the tools and know-how to transcode and often programmatically edit or repackage video assets for error-fee, optimized delivery. Cloud computing allows content owners to deploy scalable and flexible video workflows that maximize consumption across all targeted platforms. This paper compares different workflow cost structures and technical options for a variety of Internet delivery targets.
