FTI Example
▪ Video streaming consists in the encoding, transcoding, delivering,
decoding & displaying of videos on smartphones, tablets, PCs, smart
TVs & consoles. Videos distributed “over-the-top” (OTT) are
streamed rather than distributed through traditional networks
(broadcast, pay TV) and distributors (cable, satellite). OTT is a
vibrant $25bn market (2016) poised for spectacular growth: by
2025, it will reach $129bn, a 5.2x increase driven by powerhouses
like Netflix and YouTube.
▪ While developed countries are challenged to address this surge,
half of the World’s population still doesn’t have the Internet and is
unlikely to be able to stream content when they get it, reinforcing
the “Digital Divide”. Reducing this burden will lead to a faster,
cheaper and more stable Internet. It will slash content delivery
costs, which reach millions of dollars a month for media companies.
It will result in major savings for Internet providers that invest
~$300bn/year in infrastructure or give them the opportunity to
achieve much more for a similar investment.
▪ Artomatix’s goal is to decrease video streaming traffic by 80% while
retaining video resolution and increasing quality. To do so,
Artomatix and THEO will develop ENHANCEplayer, a solution that
leverages Deep Learning to automatically increase the resolution
and quality of videos on consumer devices.
