WE ARE INDUSTRY LEADING COMPANIES FOCUSED ON DEVELOPING NEXT-GENERATION MEDIA CODECS, FORMATS AND TECHNOLOGIES IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST.
Launched in 2015, the Alliance for Open Media is a Joint Development Foundation project formed to define and develop media codecs, media formats, and related technologies to address marketplace demand for an open standard for video compression and delivery over the web.
The Alliance’s initial focus is to deliver a next-generation video format that is:
- Interoperable and open;
- Optimized for the Internet;
- Scalable to any modern device at any bandwidth;
- Designed with a low computational footprint and optimized for hardware;
- Capable of consistent, highest-quality, real-time video delivery; and
- Flexible for both commercial and non-commercial content, including user-generated content.
Among the Alliance’s goals is the creation of a new, high-quality open video codec that improves core media experiences for all.
The JDF is an independent non-profit organization that provides the corporate and legal infrastructure to enable groups to establish and operate standards and source code development collaborations.
