TAG Video Systems has joined the Streaming Video Technology Alliance (SVTA), an industry forum comprising leading companies from the online video ecosystem.
Joining the alliance will allow TAG to collaborate with other members to tackle technical challenges and develop best practice solutions aimed at delivering an optimal viewing experience anywhere, anytime, on any device.
Michael Demb, TAG’s VP of Product Strategy, explained, “TAG is delighted to join the Streaming Video Technology Alliance and collaborate with the brightest minds in the video value chain. As the adoption of IP increases it becomes more complex and important for customers to monitor streams, ensure their safe delivery, and leverage their own data for expanded business options.
“The alliance’s diverse membership opens the door to a wealth of ideas and provides a path to creative solutions that will keep our customers ahead of this technology evolution and allow them to provide an exceptional entertainment experience.”
Founded in 2014, the SVTA’s charter is to encourage deeper collaboration across the entire online video ecosystem, which will include the development of standards and best practices for an open architecture that will operate across the entire online video value chain. The SVTA is currently focused on identifying issues and solutions related to open architecture, quality of experience and interoperability.
Jason Thibeault, Executive Director, SVTA, said, “The Streaming Video Technology Alliance was established to develop an open architecture, propose standards, and promote best practices to support the future of streaming video.
“We welcome TAG Video Systems to the SVTA. They join leading organisations from across the industry to help the SVTA shape the future of online video by collaborating, discussing, and planning how the video ecosystem can operate openly and scale to best meet consumer demand.”
