Within AOMedia things are moving fast with the preparation for AV2 in full speed.
Outside of AOMedia, the adoption of AV1 is like a blazing fire. With the first AV1 adoption by Browser (decoder) two years ago, Netflix switching to AV1 for all content, recently on mobile as well, Hardware acceleration available for more than a year, and Real-Time codec implementations by google and Cisco, all is already on the table for success. Cisco demoed publicly real-time AV1 in webex, on a MacBook Pro in june 2019 !
With NAB around the corner, a lot of big player are positioning themselves, not only to differentiate their offer in production, but also internally to position themselves as the implementation reference for AV2. Netflix/INTEL SVT-AV1, google’s libaom, and xvc from Divideon (non-aom member)

With a very early Chinese new year this time around, the month of January was gone before we could even realise it was around. So many good things happened though, with even more to come toward the end of the quarter, that we thought a post was overdue. Be careful, it is a short post, but on steroid, with many #webrtc news in it!

In a recent post on the millicast.com blog, we spoke about the value of Media Streaming and the corresponding business models. We think that question if of interest to a larger audience, and that some points can actually be better addressed. So we’re doubling down with a more focussed post here.
