PDX Video Tech 2026 #3

PDX Video Tech Members! We have a great line-up of video tech talks coming up! Reward yourself with pizza and a beverage at this in-person event. Doors open at 6 PM! Thanks a lot to our sponsors Amazon Prime Video and Paramount Global for supporting this event! Talk 1: Kiran Patel - Senior Product Manager @ AWS Elemental From Pixels to Decisions: Real-Time Video Intelligence at Broadcast Scale AI-powered video understanding has always lived downstream of the live signal — broadcast latency budgets left no room for AI in the pipeline, and stacking capabilities meant chaining steps that compound delay and complexity. This talk explores what changes when content intelligence runs alongside live encoding instead: multiple features on a single stream, inside a live latency budget, across concurrent channels. Along the way, we'll examine the accuracy, latency, and cost tradeoffs this forces — and why pipeline architecture matters more than any single model. Talk 2: TBA: If you have a talk, project, or topic you’d like to share with the community, please reach out. No pressure — just opening it up to anyone interested!
