Jason Thibeault
CEO, SVTA
Having DASH-IF operating within the SVTA will only benefit the industry. By bringing more of the significant work underneath a single banner, in this case the SVTA, we can create an even greater environment of collaboration and move the industry closer towards a less complicated, more interoperable future.
Alex Giladi
President, DASH-IF
I strongly believe that at this stage, the industry is better served by a smaller number of consortia with wide industry participation. DASH-IF is going to continue its excellent technical work under the wider umbrella of SVTA. I am looking forward to working closely with SVTA experts and expect the DASH-IF to benefit from a wider variety of perspectives they SVTA is bringing to the table.
Elad Nafshi
EVP and CNO, Comcast
The work of DASH-IF and SVTA has been critical in providing the tools, resources, specs and standards to help ensure a seamless, reliable and consistent video streaming experience for consumers across the globe. Aligning together under the same umbrella will unify and strengthen the work of both consortiums, and the industry, and create the framework for greater innovation and opportunity as entertainment consumption continues to evolve and more video is delivered in IP in the future.
Welcome DASH-IF Members to the SVTA
In a recent press release, we announced that the DASH Industry Forum (DASH-IF), the technical association for advancing the MPEG DASH format in the streaming industry, has joined the SVTA. Although the DASH-IF technical group no longer exists as a separate organization, its mission and work continue in the new SVTA DASH-IF Working Group. Previous DASH-IF members now have access to the entirety of the SVTA.
