The cloud holds out the prospect of transforming video distribution. In the final part of this year’s Multiscreen & OTT series, we look at the challenges and opportunities provided by cloud technology for the delivery of TV services.
Based on a recent round-table organised by Digital TV Europe, we look at strategies for the migration of headend infrastructure to the cloud and look at some of the key emerging applications such as live-streaming, personalised TV and cloud DVR.
We also assess the extent to which the cloud can replace – or complement – the traditional set-top box and other elements of the infrastructure of classic pay TV.
