Please join the SMPTE Toronto Section for an engaging virtual technical presentation, How Content Reaches the Screen: Behind the Technologies Powering Modern Media.
This session offers a practical overview of the content delivery chain across cable television, over‑the‑air broadcast, IPTV, and streaming platforms.
Attendees will gain valuable insights into the technologies enabling modern media distribution, including encoding, multiplexing, transport streams, QoS/QoE, edge delivery, dynamic ad insertion, emergency alerts, interactive services, and data distribution.
Join our meeting and explore the current and future technologies of content delivering:
Harmonic - Harmonic Transformative and Flexible Broadband
Broadpeak - Video content delivery at scale: CDN challenges for peak of live traffic and low latency
Qligent - 5G Broadcast - What it is, why it matters, and where we are in testing.
Humber College/ATSC3.0 - ATSC 3.0 NEXTGEN Broadcast – "Bolstering the resilience of municipal and regional networks"
Rogers Communications - Hybrid Realities: Architecting Modern Video Delivery Inside Legacy Constraints
As the broadcast and broadband industries continue to converge toward IP‑based infrastructures and hybrid delivery models, understanding today’s evolving media ecosystem has never been more important.
Whether you work in broadcast engineering, streaming, telecommunications, media operations, or content delivery, this session will provide meaningful technical perspectives and industry insights.
Join us virtually—everyone is welcome. This is one event you won’t want to miss.
