DTVE the week in view: Power off, sleep and standby – what do they mean?
Digital TV Europe
Covering new content and distribution platforms, technology and the business of payTV and broadband.
For those of you just joining us, this is episode three of a series of articles looking at sustainability in our industry.
Episode 1 introduced Greening of Streaming and gave some scene-setting context touching on the high-level issues and the ‘neither tree hugger nor climate change denier’ positioning of the organisation.
Episode 2 Talked about the challenges we face at an engineering level, not least the challenge of measurement, attribution and consequence. This led to my organisation (www.greeningofstreaming.org) taking a view that energy consumption driven by software architecture should be the sharp point of focus for our sustainability effort in the streaming sector.
The organisation is member driven, with members from across the broadcast, telco and streaming industry. It has a number of working groups. Some are more active than others, but they all take on a zone of responsibility that our members feel needs deeper investigation.
