Our contributions!
Video Players R&D
Helping the video ecosystem move forward—faster. We test and implement emerging standards, providing real-world validation that helps shape the next generation of video playback. By bridging research and deployment, we contribute to more reliable, efficient, and widely adopted technologies.
Server-Guided Ad insertion in MPEG-DASH
MPEG-DASH’s Alternative MPD Events evolved in 2024 into a robust solution, now HLS-compatible and integrating SCTE-35, supporting ads, blackouts, and more.
CMAF- HAM Library
What if I told you that you could play a DASH video seamlessly in an HLS player?
The interoperability is a challenge! Reaching a broader audience means creating multiple copies of each stream file in different formats, which doubles the costs of packaging and storage...
CMCD v2 & CMCD Implementation Analyzer
The geeks at WAVE are launching CMCD v2! While v1 was limited to the CDN relationship, v2 lets you share data simultaneously with a content steering and an analytics service while staying committed to your CDN.
DASH Overlays
Interactive overlays for DASH streaming, offering advanced functionality and seamless integration for adaptive video delivery...
EZDRM Northstar C2PA and CMCD
NorthStar advances C2PA and CMCD by embedding cryptographic signatures at the edge and linking them to real-time playback telemetry. This enables precise session tracking, anomaly detection, and automated enforcement, strengthening content security within existing CDN workflows.
Tools & Contributions
Technology grows best when shared. We build open, practical tools that anyone can test, adapt, and improve. These contributions are meant to lower barriers, speed up adoption, and give the community hands-on access to evolving standards and workflows.
VAST-2-SGAI Service
A service that could convert any VAST response from an Ad Server into Asset Lists or ListMPD, with the goal of providing the community with an open-source project that is easy to implement, thus quickly unlocking all the benefits of Server-Guided Ad Insertion.
IETF MoQ Player
A Player for MoQ with the goal of lowering the entry barrier to this technology. During the Summer Camp, efforts were focused on developing a player ready for real-time streaming use cases, with a primary focus on live sports events.
Dash.js CMCDParameters
Let’s give control of CMCD to the content delivery teams. Now possible to describe the desired behavior of DASH players using CMCD parameter.
Player.style Themes
During the MonteVIDEO Summer Camp, right before Christmas, we created this beautiful theme to celebrate Santa's arrival with the entire video community. Learn how to use this and other themes in your own web player.
Accelerators
Skip the hard parts, keep the flexibility. The accelerators offer a structured approach to building in-house video solutions without starting from scratch. They shorten development cycles while keeping customization and control at the core, helping teams move faster with confidence.
Wowza Live HLS Server-Guided Ad insertion
During the MonteVIDEO Summer Camp 2025, we created a proof of concept on how to use Wowza Streaming Engine alongside the VAST-2-SGAI project. This demonstrated how simple it is to implement SGAI using Wowza and hls.js.
FastTrack Live Scheduler
FastTrack Live accelerates Virtual and FAST channel creation by wrapping SaaS manifest manipulation services with a drag-and-drop HLS/DASH scheduler. It enables quick piloting, validation, and scaling, with built-in integration to our open-source CMS.
AMD AMA Portal
The AMA Portal drastically reduces the likelihood of errors and enhances the user experience, allowing even those with limited technical expertise to fully leverage the power of the MA35D.
Videoheadline CMS
VideoHeadline is an open-source CMS and Video Workflow Orchestrator built for managing and monetizing video content with AWS Media Services and CloudFront. It serves as a foundation for custom features like DRM and authorization, tailored to specific business needs with our team’s support.
MoQ Player Implementation:
This project successfully developed a basic player capable of handling fMP4 and LOC (Low Overhead Media Container) formats using the Media over QUIC (MoQ) protocol. The player introduces adaptive bitrate (ABR) ladder auto-selection, rethinking traditional HLS/DASH functionalities for a low-latency environment.
VAST to SGAI Conversion Service
This open-source tool converts VAST (XML) files into HLS Interstitials as AssetLists, enabling Server-Guided Ad Insertion (SGAI). By integrating with native iOS, hls.js, and ExoPlayer environments, it removes the need for costly SSAI solutions and supports the rapid adoption of SGAI.
