Talks:

(Rerun) Thiago Teixeira (Brightcove) - Intro to Video Streaming with CMAF

Video streaming currently represents more than 60% of the web traffic. With the increasing popularity of OTT platforms, mobile device penetration, and the upcoming 5G, demand for video streaming is set to increase even more.
In this presentation, learn how video streaming at scale works, its basic building blocks, a look at the MPEG-DASH manifest, and CMAF.

(Rerun) Alex Barstow (Brightcove) - Intro to Apple's HTTP Live Streaming (HLS): The De Facto Standard for Video Streaming

This presentation provides an overview of the HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) protocol. Due to its widespread device support, it has become today's de facto standard for video streaming. This talk will cover the structure of both live and VOD (video-on-demand) HLS streams, its differences, benefits, and downsides compared to DASH, an introduction to adaptive bitrate streaming, as well as a walkthrough of how to generate HLS content.

Bo Zhang (Brightcove) - Low-latency dash streaming using open-source tools

This March, the DASH Industry Forum (DASH-IF) published a new change request to the DASH IOP guidelines on low-latency modes for DASH live streaming (LL-DASH). FFmpeg has added support for the new features that are introduced by this change request. Using the latest FFmpeg, a GPAC tool, and a bit of our own integration code, we have built a simple LL-DASH server that can achieve 3 seconds latency for a server and a client that communicate across the coasts of America. In this talk, we will present how we designed and implemented the server. At the end of the talk, we will run a quick demo of our implementation.
