On September 9, 2026, Wowza released version 1.1 of its Video Intelligence Framework (VIF), enabling the analysis of recorded and on-demand video with the same models and configurations used for live video feeds through the REST API and Wowza Streaming Engine Manager. Earlier, on September 4, the company announced its participation in IBC 2026, scheduled from September 11-14 at the RAI Amsterdam, where it will showcase Wowza Streaming Engine and the Video Intelligence Framework (VIF) on a Dell workstation at booth 14.D43. Previously, on September 2, Wowza clarified that its Video Intelligence Framework (VIF) delivers detection results as a graded confidence score between 0.0 and 1.0 for object detection, scene analysis, and synthetic video detection, allowing operational teams to set thresholds rather than providing a binary yes/no verdict. This followed news from August 28 that Oceaneering, known for its extensive fleet of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), leverages Wowza Video Intelligence Framework to analyze live subsea video captured by ROVs inspecting pipelines and subsea infrastructure, with single dives potentially producing up to eight hours of video.
