Event posted on Jun 03 by amandaJohnson

John Crosby is partner at Realeyes Media, and has had his fingers in many projects and technologies from Realeyes’ beginning. From training curriculum for the Flash Platform and surrounding technologies to research and implementing new processes and tools for our management and development teams he loves problem solving and providing solutions.

HTTP Dynamic Streaming enables leveraging of existing caching infrastructures - for example, content delivery networks, ISPs, office caching, home networking - and provides tools for integrating content preparation into existing encoding workflows.” That is great, but what does it mean for me? 

To answer this question we’ll cover the following:
