On the Future Tech stage, Michelle Munson, CEO and co-founder of Eluvio, presented an approach to AI and video distribution at scale, focusing on their core technology, the content fabric.
Munson emphasised the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the content fabric, which integrated AI metadata directly with media content to enable personalised and dynamic video distribution without the need for multiple versions. This platform reduced distribution costs by more than tenfold and provided robust security features, including end-to-end encryption and rights management directly embedded within the media. The content fabric also eliminated the need for egress fees associated with cloud services, making it a highly scalable and monetisable solution for content owners.
Munson highlighted the significant advantages of the content fabric in live feed distribution, particularly for sports broadcasting. The technology supported ultra-low latency, multipath distribution, allowing live feeds to be efficiently delivered to global audiences, including previously unreachable markets. This capability was demonstrated through use cases with sports organisations like EPCR TV, which achieved 70% profitability and expanded their fan base fivefold using the fabric's efficient streaming and monetisation features. The fabric's unique zero-copy architecture enabled instant generation of highlights and compositions, further enhancing the viewing experience and operational efficiency.

DTG's Richard Lindsay‑Davies: "A once-in-a-lifetime shot to reshape TV"
The next decade will redefine broadcasting more profoundly than any transition since the arrival of television itself – and if broadcasters don’t grab it then YouTube will eat them all.
Delta Protocol: Live media reinvented
As project names go, ‘Delta Protocol’ might sound dramatic, more suited to an Andy McNab novel than a transformational technology initiative, but the reality is rather different. This Accelerator has suitably lofty aims, setting out to do no less than redefine video transmission by shifting from frame-by-frame delivery to scene understanding and semantic intelligence.
