LAS VEGAS — Online video delivery is an evolution and, just as humans evolved from apes, so, too, is the next generation of video streaming evolving from primates – Digital Primates<\/a>, to be exact.<\/p>\n

The Chicago-based consultancy was amongst the firms to have developed dash.js<\/a>, a Javascript library that helps web publishers embed video players<\/a> for the emerging MPEG-DASH standard.<\/p>\n

That might not sound particularly exciting, but consider that, just a few short years ago, web-based\u00a0video delivery relied on\u00a0plugins like RealVideo or Flash. Now MPEG-DASH and HLS are amongst the\u00a0video codecs\u00a0that deliver video over standard HTTP web connections, no special tools required.<\/p>\n

“We’ve been building applications for many different clients around the world and we’re finding people are really interested in standardization,”\u00a0Digital Primates founding partner Jeff Tapper<\/a> tells Beet.TV in this video interview. The company has recently been presenting<\/a> on how to build HTML5-based web video players.<\/p>\n

We interviewed Tapper\u00a0at the NAB Show. Beet.TV\u2019s coverage of the show was sponsored by Akamai. \u00a0Please find more coverage from Las Vegas here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
