CMAF Specification (ISO/IEC 23000-19:2018)

The Common Media Application Format (CMAF) standard defines a container format (based on fragmented MP4) for segmented media delivery that can be used for both HLS and DASH. Understanding CMAF is key to creating streams that work across different streaming protocols with a single media file format.
