As the prime venue for navigating the new media landscape, IBC sets to open its doors from September 13 to 16 at the RAI in Amsterdam. This conference is a fusion of industry as key players from media, entertainment, and technology take space to share the latest insights from their domains. Collabora will also be present to add the open source touch at Booth C40 in Hall 5; come by to say hello!

To illustrate the versatility of open source, we have three demos ready to show you: the first features some of our work with Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime Video on the DAB protocol. The second looks at the complexities of the software integration of LCEVC, MPEG's novel enhancement codec, into the GStreamer multimedia framework. And the third is a collaboration with PlutoVR on remote-rendering for standalone XR.

• Device Automation Bus on the RDK

  Working together to improve the application testing and certification process for device partners, Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime Video created the Device Automation Bus (DAB), an open-source network protocol that enables device manufacturers and application developers to remotely control a device under test. Collabora created a reference implemention of DAB, along with an example backend for the RDK platform. Drop by our booth to see DAB being used to control a RDK set top box including the Cobalt Open Source lightweight application container with the YouTube app.
  
  

• LCEVC meets GStreamer

  MPEG-5 Part 2 Low Complexity Enhancement Video Coding (LCEVC) is a new video standard. LCEVC works by encoding a lower resolution version of a source image using any existing codec such as H.264, H.265 or AV1 (the base codec) and the difference between the reconstructed lower resolution image and the source using a different compression method (the enhancement). This results in a greater compression ratio than the base codec alone. We'll be showing the GStreamer integration of LCEVC with the base layer being decoded by a hardware decoder using standard GStreamer plugins.
  
  

• ElectricMaple

  An innovative project that was designed to enhance standalone XR experiences through remote-rendering. Leveraging the power of Monado OpenXR and GStreamer, ElectricMaple enables high-quality XR streaming from graphics-capable servers to lightweight standalone headsets. The benefits of remote-rendered content include superior graphics quality, reduced device cost and complexity, longer battery life, and alleviated heat management.

As a key contributor to the GStreamer, PipeWire, and Wayland projects, Collabora offers unparalleled expertise in integrating cutting-edge Open Source technologies with the latest multimedia standards. Whether your needs involve low-latency streaming, cloud transcoding, embedded capture and playback, or AR/VR development, Collabora provides an array of tailored solutions to help you innovate across the digital media landscape.

See you there!
