RIST Forum Membership Surpasses 100 Members

22nd September 2020 – The RIST Forum has announced that its membership has now reached above 100, following a recent surge in new members. Members hail from all facets of the industry, but all are committed to adopting the RIST protocol for high quality broadcast-grade video over the public internet.

Recent additions include M2A Media, and Grass Valley which have joined as Associate Members, with the following as Affiliate Members: GLOBAL TECNOLOGIA DIGITAL, Herring Networks, MediaAtmos, OConsortium, Onplay, and SEJ Systems Ltda.

The RIST protocol is the only protocol designed for delivering premium broadcast-grade content over the public internet, without losing quality. It ensures that video content will be reliably delivered to audiences, regardless of bandwidth limitations. 

Arielle Slama, co-chair, The RIST Forum, said, “Video providers are increasingly looking for quick yet cost effective ways to distribute video. However, broadcasters need to retain broadcast-grade quality even when using standard internet connections. RIST is enabling that, and as more broadcasters are moving to IP workflows, we are seeing interest in the protocol grow to accommodate that.” 

Suzana Brady, co-chair, The RIST Forum, added: “Crossing the 100 milestone is a really exciting achievement for everyone involved in the RIST Forum. The RIST protocol is gaining real momentum, and it is fantastic to see various industry leaders getting behind the protocol.”
