Standards-Based, Premium Content for the Modern Web
These days, a person is just as likely to be watching a movie on their
laptop, tablet, or mobile phone, as they are to be sitting in front of a
television. Cable operators are eager to provide premium video content
to these types of devices but there are high costs involved in
supporting the wide array of devices owned by their customers.
A
multitude of technological obstacles stand in the way of delivering a
secure, high-quality, reliable viewing experience to the small-screen.
This four-part blog series describes an open, standards-based approach
to providing premium, adaptive bitrate, audio/video content in HTML and
how open source software can assist in the evaluation and deployment of
these technologies.
