Schedule

Why we decided to write our own solution, what features of the video distribution we took into account and what difficulties we faced.

We will analyze the key problems of DPDK implementation. We will pay special attention to cases within SelectOS — a specialized OS where we implement DPDK-based functionality.

The approaches which we use to reduce the amount of data that video content takes up.

We are talking about Vigo's approaches and products for implementing network quality management techniques based on user experience indicators of Internet services.

We will tell you how artificial intelligence can be used to improve the user experience when watching videos by automatically generating subtitles, marking up chapters, summarizing and translating videos.

Development of Industrial Computer Vision Systems: using monocular depth estimation and object detectors, system optimisation and profiling

We'll talk about video analytics using various hardware platforms to accelerate inference. We'll consider the deployment of models for different types of accelerators. We'll discuss tools for organizing video analytics pipelines. I will tell you about the development of our own video analytics pipeline and its modules.

A talk on a comprehensive video analytics system that we have implemented in one of the largest logistics companies in the country.

The key requirements for the new H.267 standard, and why the compression efficiency is not a sole priority any longer.

How to transcode video directly in the browser using WebCodecs, WebAssembly and other modern APIs to reduce server load and provide offline processing. I will analyse in which cases it really works effectively, what tools are already available in JavaScript and what limitations you will have to face in practice.

I'll tell you how we made a parallel transcoder, implemented our own scheduler, a library for writing workflow as code, and overcame unpredictable behavior of FFmpeg.

Comparison of video encoding quality on different hardware platforms. The Gisle Bjøntegaard method when comparing quality and its practical application.

A project comparing the quality of YouTube, Vimeo, RUTUBE and VK Video hosting sites, as well as comparing online cinemas.

I will tell you how we solve the problem of quality assessment in the Unified Video Platform VK. I will touch on two main topics: calculating metrics for assessing the work of our transcoders and testing the player's work.

How to deliver high-motion (sports) content to mobile device users and Smart TV in maximum quality. How to automatically transform low-motion content into high-motion content (frame doubling) in real time. How to implement end-to-end stream processing entirely in software using GPU acceleration.

The key requirements for the new H.267 standard, and why the compression efficiency is not a sole priority any longer.

The history of the creation of a service for regional FM radio stations. What were the tasks, problems and where it was possible to simplify life.

How to transcode video directly in the browser using WebCodecs, WebAssembly and other modern APIs to reduce server load and provide offline processing. I will analyse in which cases it really works effectively, what tools are already available in JavaScript and what limitations you will have to face in practice.

I'll tell you how we made our own transcoding with blackjack and adaptive at bench scale. I will touch on the topics of both hardware and software.

What is an IP camera, now widely used for video surveillance. How it is designed, starting with the chips, filter sensors and embedded processing algorithms. How the hardware works. Principles of sensor operation, nuances of operation and tuning algorithms for capturing and converting light flux. Interaction and control of optics, autofocus algorithms, backlighting, nuances of night and day shooting.

Have you often encountered requirements for integration with SIP/H.323 — customer's equipment in meeting rooms? Ivan will tell you about this project.

Developers of the WebRTC apps in one day may encounter video corruptions. How to find possible causes of the problem?

We will consider existing diagnostic tools and how we use them in the Dion video conferencing app to investigate user issues.

Analysis of FEC technologies in WebRTC.

How do VK Calls work in poor network conditions? Let's break down the key techniques for stable audio calls under high packet loss and low bandwidth.

The history of the creation of a service for regional FM radio stations. What were the tasks, problems and where it was possible to simplify life.

The world of media production technologies is changing rapidly. From classic SDI to IP, from hardware solutions to software-based media functions, from synchronous signal processing to asynchronous dynamic media production. Let's talk about modern global trends in the transformation of media complexes.

Let's talk about the application of video technologies used in Cloud Gaming to build VDI, using the example of the VK Play Cloud and the VK Cloud platform.

I'll tell you how the short video feeds in Yandex (Market, Go, Rhythm) are designed "under the hood" and where and how to optimize their work.

I'll tell you about the metrics which help clients improve the quality of their video services.

We will be talking about the schedule, sessions, and activities. Join us in the hall or online to find out what's in store for you!

Tired of thinking during talks? Then we invite you to think during a creative quiz!

Lightning talks is a great format to dynamically discuss a topic and find like-minded people. There will be 20-minute talks on professional topics and live discussions.

An unusual closing session awaits you at the end of the conference: we have invited a special guest to summarize its results. Stay until the end — it will be interesting!

We will be summarising the results of the conference, recalling the highlights and talking about future plans. Join us in the hall or online so you don't miss a thing!
