Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) streaming is critical for providing a quality video experience for viewers - allowing us to quickly and seamlessly
adjust resolution and bitrate in the face of changing network conditions.
ABR has reduced buffering by more than 50 percent globally and as much as 80 percent on heavily-congested networks.
MediaSource Extensions also enable live streaming in game consoles like Xbox and PS4, on devices like Chromecast and in web browsers...
