Transcoding on demand, especially when it comes to mobile
video, is going to play an important part in the growth of online video
as the medium of choice.
Last week I had the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Gerry
Purdy,
Vice President and Chief Analyst for Frost & Sullivan to
discuss
their analysis of the current and future transcoding market.
Mobile Video
Having
both just come back from the Mobile World Congress show in Barcelona,
we had quite a bit to talk about, especially around mobile
video.
Due
to the length of the discussion, we’ve broken the interview
into 4
parts to make it a bit easier to digest.
Encoder & Transcoder Research
Part 1 focuses on Frost &
Sullivan’s worldwide encoder and transcoder research report
including
the impact mobile video will have on transcoding and the challenges
that await this year.
I enjoyed the chance to get Frost &
Sullivan’s perspective of
the market. I hope you’ll find the dialogue interesting as
well.
We’ll
be posting Parts 2 – 4 of my conversation with Dr. Purdy over the next
few weeks…stay tuned.
