SeaWell Networks Addresses Growing Costs of Video Streaming

Scalable Video Coding Promises to Cut Infrastructure Costs by 50%

With the Internet now connecting the TV, PC, and mobile devices, it is now possible to deliver high-quality content across multiple screens. This new interconnectivity is generating huge increases in the consumption of web-based video — a full quarter of all broadband consumers are already keen to get access to mainstream video on all their screens, according to The Diffusion Group.

In a research report released today, SeaWell Networks and The Diffusion Group examine the rising costs and challenges facing content providers as they attempt to meet the growing appetite for video on multiple screens including:

1. Increasing storage costs: the more versions, or video profiles, the more expensive to store.
2. Increasing management overhead; More files mean more complex workflows to handle the different versions of the same file and higher costs to create all the assets.
