DASH-IF

The DASH Industry Forum (DASH-IF) creates interoperability guidelines for the usage of the MPEG-DASH streaming standard, promotes and catalyzes the adoption of MPEG-DASH, and helps transition it from a specification into a real business. It consists of the major streaming and media companies, such as Microsoft, Netflix, Google, Ericsson, Samsung and Adobe.
