Cloud computing can be described in two ways:
Television networks stream many popular episodes and movies online,
but also short clips are included almost anywhere on the sites and online
courses are soaring in numbers, as well as webcasts, webinars and
video chats.

4. The streaming video technology on the internet came a long way from
popping up progress bars or buffering statuses on your screen.

5. Speedier internet connections, enhanced decoders and plugins, better
equipped computer machines, all contribute to putting the fun back to
streaming video online.

6. Video Streaming Process Simplified

7. 1. End user selects a type of file to be watched on the
computer, either .mov, .rm, .wmv, .flv or similar

8. 2. The user owns a player such as QuickTime, RealMedia,
AdobeFlash or similar

9. 3. The user uses a web browser plugin, in order to successfully
stream a video.

10. The copy of the video never actually exists on the end user
computer. Only fragments of data are displayed as they arrive,
and are immediately discarded as the streaming files.

11. Video Streaming Protocols Explained

12. For all this, a streaming server and real-time protocols are
used. The web server sends the selected file to watch to the
streaming server, which in turn sends back the selected file
directly to you in real time, using either a real time protocol
(RTP), a real-time streaming protocol (RTSP), or a real-time
transport control protocol (RTCP).

13. How Streaming Video and Audio Works

14. Instead of a streaming server, the streaming service can be
rented from a streaming service providers who will then host
the video “on the cloud”.

15. Video Streaming Facts

16. Streaming media is estimated to have represented a seven percent
share of total server shipments worldwide in 2012, up from six
percent in 2009.

17. Streamed files will always somewhat differ from the original
(raw) file, but if the loading is done well and the round trip of
data is minimized, the user shouldn’t even notice.

18. Ideally, video will look and sound good, but be minimized in
format and delivered as quickly as possible.

19. Worldwide revenues from mobile TV and video services are
expected to reach $9.5 billion in 2017, up from $4.5 billion in
2013. The demand is growing with the appearance of mobile
markets, as mobile devices account for 10% of all global online
video plays.

20. 25% of viewing time of streaming video on tablets, for
example, is spent with content over 60 minutes long, according
to Global Video Index (2013). Time spent streaming will thus
often outpace the number of streamers.

21. The amount of digital content we consume is always on the
increase, and apparently, livestream is the most powerful
online video broadcast solution available.

22. 64% of worldwide online consumers say time-shifted
programs better fit their schedules than live TV

24. Satisfying Video Streaming Needs

25. In a need to satisfy this live streaming video demand, vendors are
more and more turning to content delivery networks for the video
delivery, because this technology hosts the streamed files on the
cloud, packets scattered among many surrogate streaming servers
around the world, and served to user from the server nearest to
him.

26. The varying round-trip of streamed data is thus minimized
and the compressing/decompressing methods optimized,
and this is top streaming service that can be rented for a
monthly fee.

27. Video content delivery is the largest contributor to
commercial CDN revenue.

28. Conclusion
Video Streaming is becoming more popular
than Cable TV because user can pick his own
content. Tablet and Mobile streaming demand
is rapidly growing. Video streaming providers
must optimise their video content for all
devices to deliver best picture quality with
minimal delay.
