AVX512 assembly instructions are now available on many CPUs and can offer substantial improvements for some workloads. Whilst the dav1d AV1 decoder project has had AVX512 assembly for some time, it is only recently that FFmpeg has some. This presentation will explain current and future AVX512 assembly optimisations in FFmpeg.

This presentation will explain RIST (Reliable Internet Stream Transport), a new protocol for professional video transport that is evolutionary. It is a protocol designed to allow for packet retransmissions between broadcast equipment, something which in the past had been vendor specific. Unusually for professional standards, it has a public specification and thus has already been implemented in a number of open source projects. This talk will took about the good parts and the bad parts as well as comparing it with traditional transport protocols such as TCP.

The Open Media devroom addresses the topics as found in broadcast (radio/TV) and Web media technologies such as video/audio encoding, playout, streaming, broadcasting, metadata. Information of related activities to this topic. This session is a discussion with attendees on ideas for future events.

Wireless camera rigs like the GoPro Link are expensive and only available to a select few. This presentation explains how we built our own at a fraction of the cost using parts easily available to anyone.

Using a bunch of different Open Source projects and hardware with Open Source firmware it is possible to build your own wireless camera which is comparable to much more expensive alternatives. This talk will explain how we did it, how it works, how we've tested it and how we aim to improve it.

Many professional users at broadcasters and other institutions want to use FOSS but at the same time in the eyes of others FOSS doesn't get the respect it deserves for a variety of technical and social reasons. This presentation will look at some examples of how this can be improved using examples from the speaker's experience where FOSS is used for mission critical uses, mostly in compression but also in other areas.

Broadcast has generally been the realm of expensive hardware and software and in the main quite objectionable to the use of FOSS. This presentation will talk about the challenges with developing and deploying FOSS in the broadcast environment, using the Open Broadcast Encoder as the main example.

This presentation will go into the technical, social and legal challenges of using FOSS in broadcasting; an industry viewed as highly sceptical of using FOSS directly. Nonetheless, the industry has passionate and dedicated individuals developing and slowly deploying FOSS. This presentation will use the development and deployment of the Open Broadcast Encoder, a FOSS application intended to replace expensive hardware encoders with commodity software as an example of FOSS can be incorporated into an industry not used to it.
