The Mission of the SVTA University

As the educational arm of the Streaming Video Technology Alliance, the SVTA University’s mission is to provide educational materials (courses, study guides, etc.) that provide critical understanding of the technologies in the streaming video stack.

Increase Your Knowledge At Every Opportunity

Without education, there is no progression. These courses help broadcast engineers transitioning to streaming, new university graduates wanting to get into video streaming, and even non-technical support staff (such as sales) get up-to-speed on the technology of the streaming stack. Our goal is to provide a growing resource of self-paced, easy-to-access courses on a variety of streaming video technologies.
