The Summer Projects
Contributions
Since 2023, we’ve developed projects that have left a lasting impact on the industry. Summer Projects, participants collaborate over 3 months on impactful open-source initiatives, diving deep into new technologies, methodologies, and video industry solutions. Supported by a team of experts from Qualabs and global industry leaders, this initiative offers a unique opportunity to learn, connect with video enthusiasts, and make meaningful contributions to the community.
“WebRTC Meetup Platform” (2023)
This project aimed to create a hybrid meeting platform with a WebRTC provider for seamless interaction. Its goal was to offer the community a tool specifically designed for hybrid events.
“CMCD Validator” (2023)
Development of a validation library for Common Media Client Data. The objective was to simplify the adoption of the CMCD standard for video developers by enabling efficient and reliable parameter validation. Additionally, an app was developed to allow users to play videos from popular players such as Shaka, HLS, DASH, and Bitmovin, facilitating real-time validation of CMCD data.
“Common Media Library” (2024)
Creation of a unified library for media playback, enhancing consistency and flexibility across multiple platforms. By standardizing tools and methodologies, CML facilitated the integration and optimization of video workflows, benefiting both developers and end users.
“CMAF HAM” (2024)
Focused on improving workflows based on the Common Media Application Format (CMAF), this project explored new possibilities for efficient media delivery and standards harmonization. CMAF HAM aimed to optimize content delivery, reduce latency, and enhance the user experience on streaming platforms.
