Live Video Streaming Workshop
We hope you can join us tomorrow in person or on line for our presentation about the Live Video Revolution, a look at how new video technology is transforming not just broadcast news but all journalism.
This is a presentation of Media X at Stanford University and The Carole Kneeland Project. Our hashtag for this event is #mediaxstanford and we will be checking that for feedback and questions during the session.
Media X is Stanford’s catalyst for industry and academic research into the impact of information and technology on society. Drawing on the capabilities of researchers across the campus, Media X looks to provide ground-breaking insights and identify new opportunities.
The Kneeland Project’s mission is to assure ethics and excellence in local journalism and to help news executives embrace and manage change. We think that this hour long discussion is very much focused on a topic that will change newsrooms...something that recognizes the incredible impact that the larger issue of broadband is going to have society.
This fast paced discussion will review the basics for those not familiar with live video streaming technologies but will also have the very latest information on new products and software that was just announced at the National Association of Broadcasting Radio Television Digital News Association convention in Las Vegas.
We will have a live audience and a number of panelists and presenters here at Stanford. We are here in the Universities working laboratory for teaching technology, the Peter Wallenberg Learning Theater which is designed for live streaming presentations and multi-media experiments.

I am your moderator, I'm Andrew Finlayson, a Knight Fellow at Stanford University. Full disclosure: I was a VP of News at Fox Chicago and most recently I was the director of online content for the Fox Television Station group, I remain a consultant to the company while here at Stanford but this presentation is not connected to News Corp and all opinions expressed in this blog are mine alone. I also was a co-founder of a website called livenewscameras.com and I run the live video streaming group on linked.com which you are all invited to become part of.
Enough of me, we have some incredible experts with us tomorrow.
Joining us in person is Gannon Hall, Kyte Chief Operating Officer, one of the companies that works with newsrooms around the world on live streaming of events and stories using a couple of technologies we’ll demonstrate.
Tal Shalom, Vidyo Vice President, a streaming video company that was just described by the Wall Street Journal as The Next Big Thing, which means they are one of the top fifty venture backed companies in America. He’ll be making a new product announcement today that will be of interest to newsrooms.
Michael Liebhold, Institute for the Future Senior Researcher, a group just down the street from Stanford. Mike has worked with some of the leading media companies and one of the authors of a major report on live video streaming technology and he is also a true pioneer in topic of video on line.
We have a number of other presenters that will have join us during the hour. This workshop will be followed by a much larger discussion of live video/telepresence hosted by Chuck House, the Executive Director of Media X. Hope you can join us for both discussions.
