Designed to halve the bitrate of AVC while supporting resolutions up to 16K, HEVC represents a significant leap in video coding efficiency. This guide explores its profiles, tiers and levels, and examines whether it can overcome the challenges of entrenched AVC adoption.
There are many ways that Artificial Intelligence is claiming to transform broadcast workflows, but they all have one thing in common: they all have to work seamlessly inside existing workflows. Telestream’s Alan Dabul examines practical AI and where it delivers real value across preparation, localization, QC, and distribution without replacing human expertise.

In this first of two parts on content discoverability and findability we discuss the underlying issues and challenges facing broadcasters as they strive to stay relevant in an era of mass streaming and AI-based search. The second part will then drill down into the relevant technologies and how these can be harnessed by broadcasters.
Performance reliability is an invisible contract between a streaming service and its customer, and it is fundamental to guaranteeing viewer retention. The problem is that performance isn’t just about delivery. Here we identify where to look and why it’s critical to take a much wider view of the whole signal chain.
AVC remains one of the most widely deployed video codecs in the world, but navigating its profiles, levels and signaling mechanisms is far from straightforward.
