Microsoft Smooth Streaming (MSS)

Microsoft Smooth Streaming (MSS) is a technology developed by Microsoft for adaptive bitrate streaming of media content over HTTP.

Low-latency HTTP Live Streaming (LL-HLS)

Low-latency HTTP Live Streaming (LL-HLS) is an extension of the HLS protocol designed to minimize latency in video streaming. While both LL-HLS and HLS are based on similar principles and share many features, the key difference lies in their focus on reducing latency.

Low-Latency Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (LL-DASH)

Low-Latency Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (LL-DASH) is an extension of the MPEG-DASH protocol designed to minimize latency in video streaming. While both LL-DASH and DASH are based on similar principles and share many features, the key difference lies in their focus on reducing latency.

Encoder Boundary Point (EBP)

Encoder Boundary Point (EBP) is used by the ABR transcoder to signal segment boundaries that are used by the packager downstream to generate the segment files. Standardized by CableLabs [OC-SP-EBP-I01-130118].

HTTP Live Streaming

HTTP Live Streaming is an Apple standard for ABR media streaming using fMP4 or MPEG-TS containers and H.264 or H.265 video codecs.

High Efficiency Video Codec

Video compression standard, published in 2013, with the goal to succeed AVC/H.264 by reducing bitrate up to 50% while maintaining the same perceptual video quality (PVQ).

Fragmented MP4 (fMP4)

Fragmented MP4 (fMP4) is an MP4 container with its media logically partitioned into moof-mdat pairs (fragments). fMP4 can be one .mp4 file (all fragments) streamed using byte-range requests to the .mp4 file or many .m4s files (one per fragment) streamed using regular requests for each .m4s file.

Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP

Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP is an MPEG international standard to enable non-proprietary ABR media streaming using fMP4 containers and any codec format.
