The Challenge:
Project Challenge Proposed by: Comcast
Supported by Champions: Comcast, BT Media & Broadcast, AP (Associated Press), Globo
Participants: Videoclarity, Castlabs, Ateme, AMD, HP
Watch LIVE at IBC2024 on Saturday, 14 September, 13:30 - 14:30 at the Innovation Stage.
Proposed by Champion Comcast, this project seeks to achieve Twitter-equivalent latency and near-instant playback start using standard HTTP streaming technical stack and infrastructure. The areas explored will be the use of low-latency encoding and segment-based ingest, the latest low-delay extensions to MPEG DASH, and possible uses of MV-HEVC video codec and the QUIC protocol.
The goal of the POC is to explore an end-to-end system comprising an encoder, a latency-optimized origin, and a mix of open source and proprietary DASH players. In addition, the innovation would be the achievement of Sub-2s glass-to-glass delay with standard adaptive streaming, which will allow premium sports experiences.
