Three new technical documents published and new
website launched to support the Common Media Library
The Streaming Video Technology Alliance (SVTA), a global
technical association developing solutions to address critical
technical challenges in delivering a high-quality video experience
at scale, announces the election of two new board members, Nicolas
Weil (AWS Elemental) and Guillaume Bichot (Broadpeak), for the
2024-2025 term. In addition, the SVTA announces the publication of
two new Open Caching Working Group technical documents, Capacity
Insights Interface and Logging Specification, and one new Low
Latency Streaming Working Group document – An Exploration Into
Measuring Streaming Latency. The organization has also launched a
new microsite to support the SVTA Common Media Library.
Two New Principal Members Elected to the Board for the
2024-2025 Term
SVTA Principal Members elected Nicolas Weil, Principal Product
Manager of Amazon Elemental and Guillaume Bichot, Chief Technology
Officer of Broadpeak, to replace Alicia Pritchett of Fastly and Dan
Newman of Viasa as their representatives in the Board of Directors.
Nicolas is also co-chair of the Streaming Video Operations Working
Group, while Guillaume Bichot has been deeply involved in many
aspects of the Open Caching Working Group.
“We thank Alicia and Dan for their valuable contributions while
serving on the SVTA board and we welcome the two new members,” says
Jason Thibeault, SVTA CEO. “Our election system enables two
Principal Members to be voted to the board each year for one-year
terms. The addition of new voices helps infuse the board with
different perspectives and ideas.”
The SVTA board determines the direction of the organization and
sets the overall strategy. For more information on the Board of

Three New Published Documents
Open Caching Capacity Insights Interface and Logging
Specification
Two new Open Caching documents, SVTA2049: Capacity Insights
Interface and SVTA2050: Logging Specification, continue to build
out the suite of technical materials that define the operation and
implementation of an Open Caching network.
The Capacity Insights document describes an interface which
allows content providers (CPs), service providers (SPs), and
content delivery networks (CDNs) to exchange information to
facilitate an integrated and informed end-to-end traffic steering
workflow. The goal is to enable real-time traffic steering based on
available capacity in an effort to keep key performance indicators
(KPIs) at acceptable levels.
The Logging Specification describes extensions to the Open
Caching Configuration API and the Content Delivery Networks
Interconnection (CDNI) Footprint & Capabilities Interface
[RFC8008] to support configuration and advertisement of logging
capabilities, along with examples and best practices to support
logging, log record transformation and transmission between
participants within an Open Caching environment.
An Exploration Into Measuring Streaming Latency
SVTA1058: An Exploration Into Measuring Streaming Latency, from
the Low Latency Streaming Working Group, highlights the key
technical contributing factors to latency and, building on
[SVTA5021], details the various options available for measuring
latency at each component of the video delivery chain, including
the playback device.
New Microsite To Support the SVTA Common Media Library
Project
The SVTA Common Media Library (CML) project aims to consolidate
common media player functionality into one library for use across
all JS media players. The new microsite, much like the Open Caching
microsite, aims to support this project by describing planned and
implemented features, providing resources for those interested in
participating, capturing current details of the public Github
repository, and detailing upcoming events where SVTA members may be
speaking about the CML. You can find the microsite at
https://cml.svta.org.
The SVTA includes member companies from around the world and
throughout the streaming video ecosystem. For a current list of
