Multi-Format Video Transcoder Growing Upside

Digital video content is delivered to multiple device types over unmanaged networks with fluctuating bandwidth. As a result, video delivery must adapt to the variable bandwidth available on the IP network, the resolution and screen size of the receiving device, and the decoding capability (or limitations) of each device type.

Given that multifaceted scenario, a rigid one-size-fits-all solution is really not an option.

As more and more video content becomes available via the public Internet and accessible on mobile networks, the need for video transcoding products -- that can ingest content in one format and then output that content into the various video formats -- will grow significantly.

According to the latest market study by In-Stat, worldwide revenue for multi-format digital video transcoders will surpass $460 million in 2015.

"The industry is at the start of multiscreen delivery and TV Everywhere. Content providers expect in a few years that as much as 75 percent of their content will be available via the new distribution platforms," says Michelle Abraham, Research Director at In-Stat.

Multiscreen delivery -- either directly on the part of content creators, or via pay-TV service providers -- is driving the market for multiformat transcoders. In-Stat expects this increasing demand to remain the case for the next several years.

They define multiscreen as delivering content files or video streams to displays of various sizes and resolutions -- not just to the typical TV and the PC platforms.

In-Stat's latest market study found the following:
  • The multiscreen services from content providers are primarily being launched in the Americas and EMEA.
  • The expectations for TV Everywhere have brought new vendors to the market in 2011, Arris, Imagine Communications, and Thomson Video Networks.
  • In 2010, the file multiformat transcoding market grew by 72 percent due to the growth in multiscreen services from content providers.

Demand for Quantum Computing as a Service

The enterprise demand for quantum computing is still in its early stages, growing slowly. As the technology becomes more usable, we may see demand evolve beyond scientific applications. The global quantum computing market is forecast to grow from $1.1 billion in 2022 to $7.6 billion in 2027, according to the latest worldwide market study by International Data Corporation (IDC). That's a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 48.1 percent. The forecast includes base Quantum Computing as a Service, as well as enabling and adjacent Quantum Computing as a Service. However, this updated forecast is considerably lower than IDC's previous quantum computing forecast, which was published in 2021, due to lower demand globally. Quantum Computing Market Development In the interim, customer spend for quantum computing has been negatively impacted by several factors, including: slower than expected advances in quantum hardware development, which have delayed potential return on inve

AI Semiconductor Revenue will Reach $119.4B

The Chief Information Officer (CIO) and/or the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) will guide Generative AI initiatives within the large enterprise C-Suite. They may already have the technical expertise and experience to understand the capabilities and limitations of Gen AI. They also have the authority and budget to make the necessary investments in infrastructure and talent to support Gen AI initiatives. Enterprise AI infrastructure is proven to be expensive to build, operate and maintain. That's why public cloud service provider solutions are often used for new AI use cases. AI Semiconductor Market Development Semiconductors designed to execute Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads will represent a $53.4 billion revenue opportunity for the global semiconductor industry in 2023, an increase of 20.9 percent from 2022, according to the latest worldwide market study by Gartner. "The developments in generative AI and the increasing use of a wide range AI-based applications in data c

Industrial Cloud Computing Apps Gain Momentum

In the manufacturing industry, cloud computing can help leaders improve their production efficiency by providing them with real-time data about their operations. This has gained the attention of the C-suite. Total forecast Industrial Cloud platform revenue in manufacturing will surpass $300 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 22.57 percent, driven by solution providers enhancing platform interoperability while expanding partner ecosystems for application development. ABI Research found the cloud computing manufacturing market will grow over the next decade due to the adoption of new architectural frameworks that enhance data extraction and interoperability for manufacturers looking to maximize utility from their data. Industrial Cloud Computing Market Development "Historically, manufacturers have built out their infrastructure to include expensive data housing in the form of on-premises servers. The large initial upfront cost of purchasing, setting up, and maintaining these servers is
