Technologies and solutions for energy-efficient and sustainable video streaming

About us

Energy-efficient and sustainable streaming for a green future of digital media

In the age of ever-expanding video streaming options online, we are thoroughly examining energy efficiency and sustainability across the entire streaming value chain. Our project seeks to assess and optimise all components, from A/V encoders to content delivery networks and end devices. With the aid of machine learning and artificial intelligence, we are crafting an eco-friendly digital clone of the streaming value chain that will support the optimal system parameters for sustainable operation and eco-friendly use of streaming content. Be part of the green future of video streaming!
