We are very happy of being awarded in the first edition of the iTEAM “Science Pills” with the video titled “What is DASH?”. iTEAM Science Pills is a contest of scientific videos produced by researchers from the Institute of Telecommunications and Multimedia Applications (iTEAM), where an experiment or scientific project is presented. The maximum duration of the videos is 2 minutes and the videos are in English language.

The video “What is DASH?” consists of a brief tutorial with a touch of humor that briefly explains how the adaptive video standard DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) works. This standard is widely used nowadays, in fact Netflix and Youtube use it. Amparo and Mª José, the two administrative staff of the iTEAM, collaborated with us in the video, contributing with their their naturalness and humor.

The award has been shared with our colleagues of the Photonics Research Lab (PRL), who participated with the video “One chip to rule them all”, which can be seen below:

The other 3 participating videos were “SAMARUC Project” and “Soundcool”, from the Signal Processing Group (GTS) and the video “Distributed Sensor Network for Noise Monitoring with Rasperry Pi”, from the Multimedia Communications Group. Following, these videos are shown:
