AMD, Red5 Pro to Demo Watch Party Video Technology at IBC

Advanced Micro Devices and Red5 Pro will demonstrate their live video-streaming watch party offering at IBC 2022 in Amsterdam, the companies emailed Thursday. The technology, which combines AMD hardware transcoding technology with Red5 Pro’s Watch Party platform, is said to scale real-time interactive video content in “milliseconds.” The companies will show how viewers can interact with friends in real-time during sporting events; how interactive video content can be scaled to support “hundreds of thousands” of viewers; how to minimize latency; and interactive experiences including online betting and gamification. AMD will also preview new low-latency and blockchain technologies, it said. IBC runs Sept. 9-12.
