MPEG DASH- Opportunities and Impacts on Adaptive Streaming

Curated on by

I recently had the pleasure of taking part on a panel session on the subject of MPEG DASH at Streaming Media Europe in London. I was joined by Cornelia Patzlsperger, Interactive Solutions, Interlake Media GmbH; Alex Zambelli, Media Platform Evangelist, Microsoft; and Tristan Leteurte, CEO, Anevia, to discuss MPEG DASH’s key features, its rate of adoption, the challenges for a wider adoption and the opportunities and impacts on adaptive streaming.

“Chiariglione said he believed DASH would become the universal transport for digital video and audio over the internet. ‘It might not yet be the delivery system for broadcasting, but increasingly so and therefore I think DASH will be the means of transport and the coding layer will be MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 or MPEG-4. One day it will happen, when that day will be is a different question.’”

MPEG DASH and HEVC: Do Standards Drive Innovation or Stifle It? – Streaming Media Magazine

“The talk at IBC was about MPEG DASH and HEVC, and that talk grew louder and angrier as the conference went on. Will standards lead to the end of the world as we know it?

It came as no surprise to anyone working in our industry that MPEG DASH and HEVC were the talk of this year’s IBC in Amsterdam — at least in the Connected World area of the show in Hall 14, in which IBC cordons off those of us whose interest in the synergy between broadcast and online comes firmly from the online angle.

What was a bit surprising, however, was the degree to which both the DASH delivery scheme and the HEVC codec (also known as H.265) were discussed as faits accomplis and debated as either “it’s about time” standards or a combined one-two punch that would be the death knell of innovation in the online video technology space. As Tim Siglin wrote in his post-event briefing, both were the subjects of show-floor discussions and Amsterdam-fueled late-night shouting matches, more intense than previous years’ discussions of, say, HTML5 or H.264 — the former of which was held in cautious regard as a passing fad, the latter of which seemed like a well-deserved chance to take a break from what had seemed like a codec war that was never going to end.”

When Will H.265 HEVC Arrive and What Will it Mean for MPEG DASH? – Streaming Media Magazine

Curated on by

Last year’s MPEG standards buzz was around DASH (dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP) which provides a standardized way to segment H.264-based MP4 files for fragmented delivery. This year’s end-of-year buzz may very well be around the high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) codec set to replace H.264.
