Apparatus and method for providing content on basis of dash adaptive to bandwidth

An apparatus for providing dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (DASH)-based contents, the apparatus comprising:

• a bandwidth measurer configured to measure a network bandwidth at a set time interval;
• a segment generator configured to generate a plurality of segments included in a representation that divides a content at one or more intervals;
• and
• a media information generator configured to generate media information, the media information comprising information on the representation that includes a plurality of segments,
• wherein the segment generator is further configured to adjust a duration of the representation according to a change in the network bandwidth measured at the set time interval.
