Broadcast AV Power Hour: Managing Bandwidth when Streaming Video

This webinar will explore practical methods such as understanding codecs and compression standards, network segmentation with VLANs, and assessing network speeds to manage resources effectively and help you optimize bandwidth, enhance network performance, and deliver high-quality video.

We’ll cover key principles of bandwidth use, latency, and the impact of video compression on network load. We’ll discuss modifying video resolution and frame rate to influence bandwidth requirements and the relevance of compression standards like H.264 and H.265 for different scenarios. 

Insights into VLANs for network segmentation, adaptive bitrate streaming, and IP protocols will be provided, introducing best practices to prevent congestion and maintain quality during peak usage. This webinar will emphasize configuring streams to meet audience needs, select optimal compression settings, and establish effective upload/download baselines for stable, reliable video delivery.
