High-Quality,
Uninterrupted Online Media Streaming
December 15, 2016 – Taipei,
Taiwan – AVerMedia
is officially licensed for Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH),
also known as MPEG-DASH. As one of the world's leading solution
providers in digital imaging, AVerMedia is dedicated to the field of
streaming ultra-high definition video (UHD) over networks and the
internet.
MPEG-DASH is an adaptive-bitrate streaming standard utilizing encoders (such as AVerMedia's live streaming solutions, AVerCaster HEVC series RS9260/ RS9280 and AVerCaster Premium series RS7310/ RS7170/ RS7190)
to send high quality videos in sequential, fragmented segments through
existing HTTP web servers onto portable devices, set-top boxes, digital
video recorders, or software solutions receiving audio/video feeds. The
adaptive bitrate automatically adjusts to network conditions to offer
hours of flawless streaming of seamless videos while minimizing lag or
re-buffering during playback. Bill Geary, Vice President of Business
Development at MPEG LA, says "We
commend the hard work and cooperation of the patent holders that have
agreed to offer a joint license for the benefit of the DASH
marketplace, and we welcome other essential DASH patent owners to join
them.”
