OTT seemed like the era of traditional TV was over, but VOD platforms are gradually channeling it and making internet streaming similar to traditional TV.

Il settore dei video on demand ha avuto una grossa evoluzione negli ultimi anni. Forti delle proprie peculiarità ( assenza di spot, servizio on-demand), gli OTT sono diventati l’alternativa alla TV lineare. Ma per tutti?

FAST channels are altering the use of connected TVs by offering a free and accessible alternative to traditional streaming services.

These are ad-supported streaming services that offer live and on-demand content, such as movies, TV shows, and news, through streaming platforms like Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and other connected devices. Users of these services can access content without having to pay a monthly subscription, but in exchange, they have to watch ads during content playback.

YouTube will be able to stream live broadcasts in AV1, using the development version 29.1 of the software. Compared to the current H.264 codec, the jump in quality for live broadcasts encoded in AV1 is greater to avoid blurry and/or pixelated videos.

AV1 is a high-efficiency video codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia) and offers a significant improvement in performance. It was created on April 7, 2016, to replace paid codecs.

From the Middle East to the US OTT channels as Amazon Prime, Netflix, Rakuten and Thefilmclub have come to the aid of the film industry, which has had to close due to the global pandemic.
