INSIGHTS
Three findings from the chapter
A preview of what video professionals surveyed told us about video delivery. The ebook has the full data, the trends since 2020, and what each finding means for video teams.
MOQ Adoption
Teams are planning for MOQ before running it
28% of respondents plan to use MOQ for distribution in the next 12 months, while 2% run it in production today. The chapter looks at what still has to happen first, from standardization to a production use case at scale.
Live Contribution
SRT leads live contribution
29% of respondents use SRT for live contribution feeds, ahead of HLS at 25% and RTMP at 19%. The ebook explains why UDP-based transport in contribution matters for what comes next in distribution.
Codecs
AV1 leads codec plans for the next 12 months
H.264 runs in 85% of respondents’ production workflows, but AV1 leads 12-month planning intent at 35%, ahead of HEVC at 26% and VVC at 20%. The chapter covers what codec adoption depends on, and how it connects to delivery cost.
