HDS

HDS, or HTTP Dynamic Streaming, is a technology for delivering adaptive bitrate streaming video over HTTP. It was developed by Adobe Systems and is used to deliver high-quality video content over the internet.

With HDS, the video stream is divided into small chunks, and each chunk is encoded at multiple bitrates. This allows the player to dynamically switch between the different bitrates based on the viewer’s internet connection, ensuring the best possible viewing experience. The player selects the chunk with the highest bitrate that can be smoothly streamed, and adjusts the bitrate as the network conditions change.

HDS is compatible with a wide range of devices, including desktop computers, laptops, smartphones, and tablets. It is also supported by many popular video players, including Adobe Flash Player and HTML5 video players.

HDS streaming refers to the process of delivering video content over the internet using HDS technology. This allows content creators and distributors to reach a wider audience with high-quality video, regardless of the viewer’s internet connection speed or device.

Overall, HDS is a flexible and reliable technology for delivering high-quality video content over the internet, making it a popular choice for online video streaming.
