Standardization

Founded in 1993, the DVB Project is an industry-led consortium of the world’s leading media and technology companies working together to design open technical specifications for digital media delivery. A member since 2017, Unified Streaming contributes to DVB-DASH and DVB-I activities. Since 2020 Unified has led the TM-Stream group working on DVB-DASH, the DVB profile for MPEG DASH.

The Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) is an alliance of working groups of ISO and IEC that sets standards for media coding, including compression coding of audio, video, graphics and genomic data, and transmission and file formats for various applications. Unified Streaming joined MPEG in 2016 and contributed to MPEG-DASH, CMAF, ISO Base Media File Format, and Point Cloud Compression.
In addition Unified Streaming held a leadership (chair) position on point cloud compression and network-based media processing.

The Wave Project, hosted by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)®, aims to improve how internet-delivered commercial video is handled on consumer electronics devices and to make it easier for content creators to distribute video to those devices. Since 2018 Unified Streaming has been an active member of the Wave Project and CTA consortium, and contributes to the content specification task force and DASH-HLS interop task forces.

DASH-IF is an industry group developing best practices and recommendations around usage of MPEG-DASH. Since 2014 Unified Streaming has contributed to the different IOP specifications and ingest protocol specifications, in collaboration with other industry leaders.

SCTE and ATSC are industry consortia for cable, television, streaming technology and standards. While Unified is not a member, the company does hold positions as invited expert for these consortia. SCTE develops standards for cable such as SCTE-35, 47, and 214 at the intersection of media. ATSC develops standards mainly for digital television.
