HONG KONG, Sept. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital technology
is becoming much more integrated to people's lives, as evidenced by
not only the rise of the global e-commerce market, social sharing
and live broadcast but also in the gradual digitalization of
industries around the globe. In view of these developments,
Tencent Cloud, the cloud
business of Tencent, today announced
the launch of a new initiative called V+ Challenge (Global
Innovation and Entrepreneurship Challenge for V+ Real-Time
Internet), a global audio/ video solutions contest that
calls on participants to innovate on use cases and best practices
based on Tencent Cloud's high-quality
audio and video cloud technologies.
Real-Time Internet Dominates Trends
As digital life evolves, users expect multimedia with wider
range and higher quality. Audio and video technologies are rapidly
moving towards ultra-high definition, low latency, deep immersion
and strong interaction with the dawning of a new digital innovation
era – the "Real-time Internet".
The V+ Challenge is designed to empower entrepreneurs and
businesses across all industries into expanding their digital
knowledge and experience, effectively providing them tools to adapt
to the fast-evolving world of entrepreneurship. Digitalization and
the further strengthening of real-time Internet are among the most
prominent drivers in the transformation of the business landscape,
as highlighted by the accelerating development and popularization
of the digital economy and industrial integration.
Take On The Challenge
The Challenge solicits innovative solutions and best practices
in the audio/video field globally. Businesses and entrepreneurs who
want to take on the V+ Challenge – and aspire to receive
USD30,000 credits worth of
Tencent Cloud services – are required
to have been in business for no more than five years and are
between the seed Series C rounds of funding. Winners will win an
opportunity to gain more than 20 million exposures at Tencent Cloud's Chinese and global websites and
media resources, top industry conferences and team interviews as
well as professional entrepreneurship guidance from industry guests
in the final roadshow stage, which will be held on January 11, 2022.
Contestants can capitalize on Tencent Cloud's RT-ONE™ network, which supports a
new all-in-one service for audio and visual communication, PaaS
audio/video platform, and service matrix, as well as Tencent Cloud's complete family of PaaS products,
including Tencent Real-Time
Communication (TRTC), Cloud Streaming Services (CSS), Video on
Demand (VOD), Instant Messaging (IM), Tencent Push Notification Service (TPNS), and
Cloud Rendering Service (CRS), to help developers create live
streaming, interaction, call, UGSV (User Generated Short Video),
and other audio/video applications with speed and ease. Contestants
can innovate in the fields of new social networking, office
collaboration, education, finance, healthcare, corporate services,
public utilities, smart devices, industrial internet of things
(IoT), and other relevant industries.
The power of Tencent Audio and
Video Cloud
With more than 22 years of experience and technologies in the
field, Tencent Cloud is the world's
first public cloud vendor to launch the RT-ONE™ network that
integrates the CDN streaming media distribution network, IM network
and TRTC network. Tencent Cloud has
also been supporting 90% of China's audio and video customers in their
cloud-based innovation.
For overseas businesses, Tencent
Cloud has adapted targeted, localized technology and algorithms to
meet the unique needs of individual regions and markets. For
instance, when it comes to video encoding and decoding,
Tencent Cloud's specific media
processing products offer a higher quality visual experience with a
lower bit rate – a 30 to 50% lower bit rate bandwidth under the
same subjective image quality. This significantly improves the
consistency and image quality of users in areas with less robust
telecommunication networks, such as Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.
Poshu Yeung, Senior Vice President, Tencent Cloud International,
said, "As one of our many ways to address the
ever-changing business landscape through digital and cloud
technology, Tencent Cloud looks
forward to giving the entrepreneurs of today more power to keep
their businesses moving at a fast pace. This also demonstrates what
companies can truly achieve on a global scale when working with
Tencent Cloud, in time with the rise
of e-commerce, pan-entertainment and various other fields that are
being consolidated by the capabilities of real-time Internet."
Along with the rollout of the V+ challenge, an activation
ceremony as well as the MoU signing of the Tencent Cloud Audio and Video V+ Ecological
Cooperation with different partners such as global Digital TV
leader SDMC were held on the same day, with a shared aim to expand
the influence of Tencent Cloud Audio
and Video in mid-to-long-tail enterprises and go overseas.
Businesses and entrepreneurs who want to be a part of the V+
Challenge can register and submit their projects from now until
November 23, 2021. More details and
registration instructions are available at
