Introduction• Problems :

Delivering video content over the Internet started in the 1990s with timely delivery and consumption of large amounts of data being the main challenge.

Video streaming service in a heterogeneous network environment is the variation in the receiver’s video playback capability.

4

Introduction• Problems :

Contention for CPU and I/O resources at the video server. This may cause variations in the transmission rate supportable by server.

5

Introduction• Potential market

Watching the Olympics live over the Internet?

Streaming last week’s episode of your favorite TV show to your game console?

Watching a 24-hour news TV channel on your mobile phone?

6

Introduction• Potential market

Every commercial platform is a closed system with its own manifest format, content formats, and streaming protocols.

One of the main enablers of this would be an adopted standard that provides interoperability between various servers and devices.

Scope of MPEG-DASH• program timing• media-content

Multimedia Presentation Description

15

Segment format• A segment is defined as the entity

body of the response to the DASH client’s HTTP GET.

• A media component is encoded and divided in multiple segments.

• The first segment might be an initialization segment containing the required information for initialization

16

Segment format• Each media segment is assigned

a unique URL an index start time and duration

17

Segment format• To enable downloading segments in multiple parts,

the specification defines a method of signaling subsegments using a segment index box.

• The indexing information of a segment can be put in the single box at the beginning of that segment, or spread among many indexing boxes in the segment.

• Different methods of spreading are possible, such as hierarchical, daisy chain, and hybrid.

18

Additional features• Switching and selectable streams.

selecting one audio stream from different languages, selecting the subtitles from provided languages, dynamically switching between different bitrates of the

same video camera.

• Ad insertion.

• Compact manifest.

• Fragmented manifest.

19

Additional features• Scalable Video Coding (SVC) and Multiview Video

Coding (MVC) support.

• A flexible set of descriptors. components’ roles, accessibility features, camera views, audio channels’ configuration

• Quality metrics for reporting the session experience.
