What we’re about
The Sydney Video Technology meetup is for anyone interested in the underlying technology behind video and video publishing: streaming, transcoding, codecs, advertising, playback, open standards, mobile, connected tv and more. We will focus on the engineering side and not the creative side, but creatives are welcome.
