Episode 7 of Corporate Video is BS continues with Sarah Semlear from Hiscale. Part one covered the two ends of the Enterprise Video Content Factory: verified ingest and elastic delivery. Part two is the demo Jeff and I promised: Hiscale AGENT pulling files off a camera card, FLICS transcoding them in the cloud, and the…
The AI Shift vs. Enterprise Video These days one must travel to find valuable information. The Fonn Group’s annual User Summit is a chance to escape the brain-numbing noise of the mega-expos.
