Media and Entertainment organizations are recognizing the opportunity to use hybrid cloud to drive productivity and efficiency into their workflows. Media Function Virtualization (MFV) can help provide an onramp for hybrid cloud workflow. This session will focus on the best practices and recommendations on how media organizations can transform their business by easily embedding these new MFV technologies and overcome perceived technical challenges, such as jitter, latency, scalability and cost.

The Changing Landscape in Conducting Global, Live-Event Broadcasts

Presented by Randall Heer, Founder, Partner & CEO at Vista Studios

This presentation features a case study of the live, global broadcast of a 2-hour episode of WE tv’s Growing Up Hip Hop (WE tv is owned and operated by AMC Networks Inc.). Vista Studios combined traditional studio production expertise with live-audience interaction via phone in, Skype and social media platforms to produce and broadcast this unscripted, compelling ‘reunion’ episode. This approach is highly cost effective compared to using remote trucks and crews. Vista also discusses use of its new dark fiber capacity to enhance the distribution process.
