The BBC R&D team provides streaming media test content for adaptive bit rate systems. Streams include VOD, live and low-latency versions, all conformant to CMAF. Live streams help clients interact with server while Low Latency reduces latency to broadcast speeds. Updated features such as webcasts, languages & access services improve interoperability & protocol capabilities. Clients can verify synchronisation between components.The BBC R&D team provides streaming media test content for adaptive bit rate systems.

Codec licensing has become more complex due to web streaming requirements, leading to multiple patent pools and royalty-free alternatives such as VP8, VP9 and AV1. Patent holders are focusing on services and content to recoup costs while streaming services are avoiding royalties with the CENC and CMAF technologies. HEVC adoption is slow due to an unsuitable licensing model.Codec licensing has become more complex due to web streaming requirements, leading to multiple patent pools and royalty-free alternatives such as VP8, VP9 and AV1.

Telestream’s 2020 OTT Streaming Trends report reveals OTT providers are increasingly using fMP4 and CMAF for packaging ABR content instead of the MPEG-2 TS standard. H.264 is the most used codec (58%), followed by HEVC (23%), VP9 (16%) and AV1 (3%). HLS remains dominant, but many streaming services are switching to CMAF. Get the report for more details.
Read MoreCeeblue will be able to implement high efficiency streaming workflows in its solutions, to provide for scalable sub-second latency live streaming and fast zapping to media companies through the High-Efficiency Streaming Protocol...
Read MoreApple is pushing HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), MPEG-Dash is gaining a lot of traction, and CMAF is an attempt to solve the issues inherent in the other two formats. Given that there is no solution on the horizon to reduce format...
Read MoreThis panel with Ateme, Akamai and THEOplayer asks how they both work, their differences and also maps out a way to deliver both at once covering the topic from the perspective of the encoder manufacturer, the CDN and the player...
Read MoreWith such an ultra-low latency HTTP Streaming protocol, video is split further than segments to CMAF (Common Media Application Format) chunks. CDN companies are adapting their network with innovative caching methods to handle...
Read MoreThis is however not the end of the road, as MPEG is working on new specifications like the CMAF Timed Metadata Tracks, the Event Message track format (MPEG-B part 18), with a corresponding Event Stream and Timed Metadata...
Read MoreNick Krzemienski gives us a couple of 2021 takes, more specifically about CMAF and CBCS, about Vod2Live, and about SDR-to-HDR. I’ve begun exploring this project, but there are ad restrictions from content owners.
Read MoreRufael Mekuria from Unified Streaming has been working on bringing CMAF to encoders and packagers. The additional timed metadata track is based on the ISO BMFFF standard and can be fragmented just like other media.
