This is the presentation delivered at Akamai EDGE conference in Oct 2014 by Will Law and Nicolas Weil
The presentation gives an overview of the genesis of the standard, differentiates it from legacy formats, examines its benefits in the OTT, broadcast and wireless industries and then demonstrates how simple it is to get DASH playback across devices . It highlights current deployments, reviews the status of the industry and gives an outlook for the next three years.

![[IBC2014] MPEG-DASH SuperSession | Video Breakthroughs | Scoop.it](https://img.scoop.it/VgAd3YC4DfQAJrCLULNhmTl72eJkfbmt4t8yenImKBVvK0kTmF0xjctABnaLJIm9)
Released in April 2012, MPEG DASH is the fastest tracked ISO standard ever released by the MPEG organization. A standard for the delivery of adaptive, segmented media, MPEG DASH seeks to be the unifying and enabling force for the OTT world as NTSC and PAL were for the broadcast world. The goals of this SuperSession are to expose attendees to the latest advances in DASH and to educate them on the deployments and usage taking place today. Via DASH Industry Forum

Could MPEG-DASH be the one online video format to replace all others? In a Streaming Forum 2014 panel on the much-hyped format heavyweights includingCisco, Akamai, the BBC, and Qualcomm offered a shared hope that the industry could standardize behind DASH.
“To me, it’s the young Turk,” said Kevin Murray, system architect for Cisco, comparing DASH to HLS. Broadcasters are slowly centralizing on both options, he noted. DASH, however, lacks a maturity. The format still needs ubiquity (including the ability to play on iOS devices) and integration (DASH-IF needs to act as a gatekeeper). Keep it simple, Murray advised: A unified DASH is easier to deploy and test, and offers a better user experience.
Throughout the discussion, panelists balanced the need for standardization with the need to offer versions with special features. The format needs a consistency of choice or problems will show up, Murray said. “The way people do live differs,” he said, and so do the ways players support live video. Advertising video needs certain features that content video doesn’t. The solution needs a consistent framework that supports various options. Via DASH Industry Forum

DASH’s Time Has Come By now, you’ve probably read enough to understand what DASH is and why it’s important. But let’s boil it down to the most important points: DASH is an adaptive bitrate streaming technology for delivering multimedia—i.e., video. It’s a codec- agnostic technology designed to partition and deliver congruent piecesofamultimediafiletoaclient,usingHTTP. Alongwith network conditions and other variables, the receiving device (such as a smartphone, tablet, set-top box, smart TV, or computer) dictates which “chunks”—each of which contains a different resolution and bitrate—to deliver to ensure uninterrupted play of the file as a whole. Of course, adaptive bitrate (ABR) streaming has been around for a while. If you ever watched a cat playing a piano and it got fuzzy for a few seconds, you experienced a version of ABR. But was it DASH doing the heavy lifting? Almost certainly not. That’s changing... Via DASH Industry Forum
