Summary/Abstract: Streaming has become one of the most significant topics in recent years. Network conditions may change from time to time and this affects quality of communication negatively. MPEG DASH, which means dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP has been developed to adapt communication to environmental conditions and maintain quality. In this study, a system is developed with MPEG DASH to reduce bandwidth usage of network. Video is separated to parts as detailed and non-detailed visually. While detailed scenes are streamed in high quality, less detailed ones are streamed in low quality. Encoding rates are decided by considering SSIM, and suitable bitrate values are selected. Streaming of content is performed with Bitmovin Player. Performance of model is analyzed through bandwidth metric in Wireshark Packet Tracer with a conclusion that there is 35% reduction in bandwidth utilization.
