FOCAL Online Workshop: Technology: Future Applications and Platforms

16:00 - 17:00 (GMT) admission from 15:45

Can you keep up with the ever-changing technological environment?

During our Zoom Workshop we provided an exclusive opportunity where we use everyday knowledge and experiences to discuss options to enhance and streamline everyday business.

FOCAL International brought together industry experts to take you through how best to work with AI from a user and rights holder point of view, how to introduce new services such as parallel transcoding for faster-than-real-time performance and finally how to acknowledge key trends and future interaction technology.
