Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) is a streaming technique that allows high-quality streaming of media content over the Internet by dynamically adapting the video quality to the user's network conditions. It segments video files into smaller chunks and adjusts the bit rate in real-time, ensuring a smooth viewing experience without buffering interruptions.

Dynamic Adaptive Streaming

HTTP, or Hypertext Transfer Protocol, is the foundational protocol for data communication on the World Wide Web, enabling the fetching of resources such as HTML documents. It is a stateless protocol, meaning each request from a client to server is treated independently without any stored context from previous interactions.

Video quality refers to the clarity and visual fidelity of a video stream, influenced by factors such as resolution, bitrate, and frame rate. Achieving optimal video quality requires balancing these factors to suit the intended use and available bandwidth.

Bit rate refers to the number of bits that are conveyed or processed per unit of time, often expressed in bits per second (bps). It is a critical factor in determining the quality and efficiency of data transmission in digital communications and multimedia applications.

Real-time means doing something right away, without waiting. It's like when you ask a question and get an answer immediately, just like magic!
