Las Vegas, Nevada – DivX, LLC, a provider of next-generation digital video solutions, announced the launch of DivX® Live, featuring support for secure live streaming up to 4K using HEVC and MPEG-DASH. The new addition to the DivX Certified® programme for HEVC enables pay-TV operators and OTT services to securely stream live video content to multiple platforms, including web, iOS, Android, smart TVs and other consumer electronics devices.

Short for Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP, DASH standardises certain aspects of adaptive bitrate streaming of video over the Internet. Building on the company’s established reputation for driving new video standards into the market, DivX is one of the first technology providers to enable secure live streaming using MPEG-DASH, enabling the delivery of high value content such as major league sporting events.

“As part of our complete video delivery solution for OTT entertainment services, the DivX team is proud to deliver a live video streaming solution using MPEG-DASH,” said DivX President and CEO Dr. Kanaan Jemili. “This new capability empowers major sports organisations and other content owners to deliver a premium live streaming experience at up to 4K resolutions, which we believe will be a key driver for event-based OTT video delivery,” he added.
