Has been made.
- the receiving side can select and acquire and reproduce an optimum stream from a plurality of streams prepared by the supply side according to the Internet communication environment, own decoding capability, and the like.
- MPD Media Presentation Description
- the MPD describes the address (url information) of the supply source of chunked content streaming data (media data such as Audio / Video / Subtitle). Based on the url information, the receiving side accesses the server that is the content supply source to request streaming data, and receives and reproduces streaming data distributed by HTTP unicast in response to the request.
