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.

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.
