Jan Ozer announces his second report on LCEVC Technology entitled LCEVC x264 Report: Live Sports & eGames, ABR Ladder.
The first report assessed VOD performance at 1080p; this report tested live performance using a full encoding ladder and weighted average performance as well as BD-Rate comparisons.
Speaking during a webinar this week, Eleven Sports CEO Luis Vicente explained that the reasoning behind having two technology stacks is that, for premium content, there is a much lower margin of error for content delivery. He compared Champions League matches, the creme de la creme of European soccer, to a niche second tier match from the Brazilian league as an example of how content is separated across the respective technology stacks. […] Vicente also revealed that Eleven Sports is planning to launch three new platforms built around these two technology stacks. While there are few details on vendor involvement in building Eleven’s back-end, we do know that the company is an early adopter of the LCEVC (low complexity enhancement video codec), developed by V-Nova.

An overview of a comprehensive report by Jan Ozer that documents the testing, quality, and performance of the Low Complexity Enhanced Video Codec (LCEVC).
MPEG’s two others, Low Complexity Enhancement Video Coding (LCEVC) and Essential Video Coding (EVC), are more complementary to H.266 or VVC, than competitive.
There is no doubt that 2020 is shaping up to be a landmark year for broadcast codecs with a slew of new developments due to reach fruition…
The LCEVC Codec (MPEG-5 Part 2) or “Low Complexity Enhancement Video Coding” is one of the three new codecs being introduced by MPEG (others being Versatile Video Coding (VVC) and Essential Video Coding (EVC)) with the aim of increased compression efficiency for existing codecs at little to no increase in coding complexity by the use of a base bitstream and an enhancement bitstream.
