Released in April 2012, MPEG DASH is the fastest tracked ISO standard ever released by the MPEG organization. A standard for the delivery of adaptive, segmented media, MPEG DASH seeks to be the unifying and enabling force for the OTT world as NTSC and PAL were for the broadcast world. The goals of this SuperSession are to expose attendees to the latest advances in DASH and to educate them on the deployments and usage taking place today.
