In this tech talk from Michelle Munson, CEO and co-founder of Eluvio, you will hear about a new ultra-efficient capability intended to displace costly legacy satellite and point-to-point fiber for live global broadcast feed distribution (SMPTE 2110/2022) with Content Fabric distribution over commodity IP, delivering sub-500 millisecond latency, multi-path redundant routing, and end-to-end security–without cloud round trips or egress fees. Notably, Eluvio is working on several major sports initiatives to deploy this next-gen approach in which SRT and RTMP outputs are dynamically generated in line from the live stream content object distribution and dynamically served to global takers with synchronized output failover for broadcast. It also incorporates the first-ever fully automatic live sports highlights generation using inline agentic AI with zero-copies/retranscodings/exports, personalization, and generation during live events.
