Adaptive Bitrate Test Media

Introduction

BBC Research and Development has produced a number of test streams demonstrating the features of CMAF compliant MPEG DASH streaming and interoperability with HLS.

There are streams covering typical use, as well as ones offering more choice to clients. Additionally, there are streams which can be used to test live streaming functionality in clients and the starting and ending of streams.
