LEADTOOLS provides everything needed to stream the MPEG-DASH format
using the Media Streaming Server in .NET (C# & VB) and C/C++.
With only a few lines of code, a fully featured HLS server can be created to stream audio/video multimedia to any MPEG-DASH client application.
MPEG-DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) is a streaming technique designed to use
an adaptive bit rate and provide content providers with the ability to stream high quality media from conventional HTTP web servers.
Because MPEG-DASH is adaptive, it can seamlessly change the stream settings based on current network conditions and client hardware
capabilities to provide high-quality playback with fewer stalls and less re-buffering.
MPEG-DASH is similar to Apple HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) and works by breaking media content into small HTTP-based file segments,
making it possible to stream many hours of content such as movies or live sports and news broadcasts.
Segments are encoded at different bit rates, allowing the client to appropriately choose the next segment to download based on current network conditions.
MPEG-DASH segments can contain any media data, but the only supported containers are ISO base media file format (MP4) and MPEG-2 Transport Stream.
The Full Evaluation Download includes all LEADTOOLS Document, Medical, Imaging, and Vector technologies for all development and target platforms.

Clients have high expectations for video streaming playback, and the responsibility of a positive user experience is almost completely in the server's court. Even in the case of a poor or fluctuating connection, clients expect to have continuous playback without stuttering or long buffering pauses. Furthermore, viewers expect to watch the same video on all of their devices. This is no small order for content providers. Thankfully, developers and server administrators can use the LEADTOOLS Media Streaming Server SDK to quickly and easily build professional audio/video multimedia streaming applications for playback on any device at a fraction of the cost of other proprietary methods.
Demonstrates LEADTOOLS Media Streaming Server technology. With only one file placed on the server, it will stream to any device by automatically selecting the appropriate protocol (Universal Player). Or you may manually select a player for each of the supported protocols:
RTSP/RTP
Adobe Flash RTMP
Apple HTTP Live Streaming (HLS)
HTML5 Video
Microsoft Smooth Streaming (SSF)
MPEG-DASH
Adobe HTTP Dynamic Streaming (HDS)
