Presentation Timestamp is a crucial concept used to ensure the proper synchronization and presentation timing of media segments within an HLS stream. PTS helps maintain the correct order and timing of audio and video components during playback.
Low-latency HTTP Live Streaming 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.
Encoded Bitrate is the bitrate of the compressed (i.e. during ABR encode/transcode) audio or video media objects, each Bitrate level representing different quality levels in ABR. The concept of Encoded Bitrate is inherent in various ABR-related definitions: e.g. CMCD br key, e.g. HLS Playlist Variant Stream BANDWIDTH parameter, e.g. DASH
Common Media Application Format is an Apple-Microsoft standard aiming to simplify workflows by defining concurrent use of multiple ABR methods (e.g. DASH, HLS) while using one set of audio and video media files.
In this document, a cross-functional working group committee reviews and responds to the HLS Content Steering Proposal 1.1b1 and the subsequent Redundant Stream Steering Proposal (RSS).
A manifest refers to a text file that describes other files that can be fetched as part of Adaptive Bitrate Streaming (ABR). A master manifest is a text file which describes a list of rendition manifests along with the resolution, bitrate, location (URL) and other details of each rendition. A rendition
