Standards-based Streaming Analytics and its Visualization

Abstract

As OTT (over-the-top) media streaming and underlying technologies have matured, streaming analytics has become more important, especially in a heterogeneous device ecosystem, where new devices or software updates can potentially cause streaming issues. In this paper we consider SAND (Server and Network Assisted DASH), CMCD (Common Media Client Data) and Streaming Quality of Experience Events, Properties and Metrics (CTA-2066) as standards to enable interoperable, standard-based streaming analytics for the predominant streaming formats MPEG-DASH and HLS. We focus on the visualization aspect of streaming metrics in UI (user interface) dashboards.
