HTTP Live Streaming
1/ Let you send audio and video over HTTP from an ordinary web server for playback on iOS (based devices: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV) and on desktop computers (Mac OS X). 2/ iPhone and iPad apps that send large amounts of audio or video data over cellular networks are required to use HTTP Live Streaming. 3/ Where possible, use the <video> tag to embed HTTP Live Streaming, and use the <object> or<embed> tags only to specify fallback content. 4/ Bonus: MPEG-4 is one of the latest (audio and video) compression method standardized by MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group), designed especially for low-bandwidth /bng thng/ (less than 1.5MBit/sec bitrate) video/audio encoding purposes.
The major MPEG standards include the following:
MPEG - 1
The most common implementations of the MPEG-1 standard provide
a video resolution of 352-by-240 at 30 frames per second (fps). This produces video quality slightly below the quality of conventional VCR videos (videocassette recorder).
MPEG - 2
Offers resolutions of 720x480 and 1280x720 at 60 fps, with full
CD-quality audio. MPEG-2 is used by DVD-ROMs. MPEG-2 can compress a 2 hour video into a few gigabytes. While decompressing an MPEG-2 data stream requires only modest computing power, encoding video in MPEG-2 format requires significantly more processing power.
MPEG - 3
Was designed for HDTV but was abandoned in place of using
MPEG-2 for HDTV.
MPEG - 4
A graphics and video compression algorithm standard that is based
on MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 and Apple QuickTime technology. Waveletbased MPEG-4 files are smaller than JPEG or QuickTime files, so they are designed to transmit video and images over a narrower bandwidth /bng thng hp/and can mix video with text, graphics and 2-D and 3-D animation layers.
MPEG - 7
Formally called theMultimedia Content Description Interface,
MPEG-7 provides a tool set for completely describing multimedia content. MPEG-7 is designed to be generic and not targeted to a specific application.
MPEG - 21
Includes aRights Expression Language(REL) and a Rights
Data Dictionary. Unlike other MPEG standards that describe compression coding methods, MPEG-21 describes a standard that defines the description of content and also processes for accessing, searching, storing and protecting the copyrights of content.
Overview HTTP Live Streaming Server component
Taking input streams of media
Distribution component
Consists of standard web servers
Client software
Determining the appropriate
media to request
Encoding them digitally
Accepting client requests
Downloading those resources
Encapsulating them in a format suitable for delivery
Delivering prepared media and
associated resources to the client
Reassembling them so that the
media can be presented to the user in a continuous stream
Preparing the encapsulated
media for distribution
For large-scale distribution: Use
edge networks or other content delivery networks
Server Components - Takes a real-time signal from an audio-video device - Encodes the media (H.264 video and HE-AAC audio ) - Encapsulates it for transport. (MPEG-2 Transport Streams for audio-video, or MPEG elementary streams for audio-only).
Media Encoder
- The encoder delivers the encoded media in an MPEG-2
Transport Stream over the local network to the stream segmenter. - MPEG-2 transport streams should not be confused with MPEG-2 video compression. - The transport stream is a packaging format that can be used with a number of different compression formats. - The video encoder should not change stream settingssuch as video dimensions or codec typein the midst of encoding a stream. - If a stream settings change is unavoidable, the settings must change at a segment boundary, and theEXT-XDISCONTINUITYtag must be set on the following segment. - Is a process, which reads the Transport Stream from the local network - Divides it into a series of small media files of equal duration.
Server Compone nts
Stream Segmen ter
- Creates an index file containing references to the individual
media files. - Each time the segmenter completes a new media file, the index file is updated. - The index is used to track the availability and location of the media files. - Encrypt each media segment and create a key file as part of the process. - Media segments are saved as.tsfiles (MPEG-2 transport stream files). - Index files are saved as.M3U8playlists. - Encapsulate media file encoded in an MPEG-2 transport stream - Break it into segments of equal length.
File Segmen ter
Allows you to use a library of existing audio and video files
(Streaming Kit,GPUImage, CTAssetsPickerController, ...) for sending video on demand via HTTP Live Streaming. The file segmenter performs the same tasks as the stream segmenter, but it takes files as input instead of streams.
# H.246 H.264 is a next-generation video compression format. H.264 is also known as MPEG-4 AVC (Advanced Video Coding). Developed for use in high definition systems such as HDTV, Blu-ray and HD DVD as well as low resolution portable devices such as Sonys PSP and Apples iPod, H.264 offers better quality at lower file sizes than both MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 ASP (DivX or XviD). Apple has official adopted H.264 as the format for QuickTime. It is also one of the formats chosen to be supported by both high definition DVD standards, and is destined to be the future standard format for Blu-ray. Even AVCHD, the consumer format offered by the same people behind Blu-ray and for use in camcorders and Blu-ray recorders, uses H.264 as the main video format.
