Resolution

Resolution is the picture quality displayed on a screen (Desktop, Laptop, Mobile, Tablet, Television Screen). Basically, the resolution is measured by the number of horizontal and vertical pixels. Usually, it is mentioned as width x height, with the units in pixels: for instance, "800 × 600" means the width is 800 pixels and the height is 600 pixels. Images become crisper when resolution increases, because of a higher pixel density. As more pixels per square inch are being displayed, text…

Buffering

In video streaming or audio streaming from the Internet, buffering refers to downloading a portion of the data before starting to play the movie or music. Having an advance stream of video frames or audio samples in RAM always avoids interruption if there are temporary delays in transmission while the content is being played.

AVC (H.264)

AVC or Advanced Video Coding (also known as H.264) is an industry-standard for video compression, the process of converting digital video into a format that takes up less capacity when it is transmitted or stored. AVC or H.264 delivers both small file size and high definition quality with half, even quarter of bitrate usage. So far, it is one of the most frequently used formats for recording, compression as well as the distribution of video content. Including 4K UHD, it…

How AI is Going to Revolutionize Video Delivery
How AI is Going to Revolutionize Video Delivery

As media libraries expand and viewer demands accelerate, traditional media management methods are struggling to keep pace. In this webinar, we’ll dive into how AI — both today’s practical solutions and tomorrow’s transformative innovations — is going to reshape the way streaming platforms, broadcasters, and enterprises manage, organize, and distribute content across Digital Asset Management (DAM) and Media Asset Management (MAM) systems. This session will give you a clear roadmap for harnessing AI — both current tools and emerging frontiers — to transform your media operations into a faster, smarter, and future-ready ecosystem.

Things the webinar would cover:

  • AI-driven content workflows: Automate captioning, audio-to-text conversion, subtitle translation, and multi-language transcription
  • Smart content discovery: Unlock scene-level video search, automated chaptering, and AI-generated metadata
  • AI-native content creation: Instantly generate training videos, marketing clips, or explainers directly from documents, URLs, or text prompts 
  • Agentic AI for media: Explore how autonomous AI agents can manage content ingestion, quality checks, compliance editing, and metadata enrichment
  • Next-gen video editing: Use simple prompts to mute, blur, annotate, or clip scenes
  • Personalization and localization at scale: Automate dubbing, voice cloning, localized metadata tagging, and audio translation 
  • Intelligent recommendations: From dynamic playlist curation and personalized ad insertions to predictive analytics 
  • Next-gen distribution intelligence: Learn how AI optimizes encoding ladders, predicts CDN traffic patterns, suggests smarter storage strategies, and enables dynamic playout based on device and bandwidth conditions.
