This year LCEVC from MPEG will be standardised. Called Low Complexity Enhancement Video Coding, this codec provides compression both where computing is constrained and where it is plentiful. Guido Meardi, CEO of V-Nova, talks us through what LCEVC is starting with a chart showing how computation has increased vastly as compression has improved.
At its 130th meeting, WG11 (MPEG) is proud to announce the completion of the new ISO/IEC 23094-1 standard, i.e., MPEG-5 Essential Video Coding (EVC), which has been promoted to Final Draft International Standard (FDIS) status.
Codecs play a vital role in video production and delivery, but there isn’t much consensus about which one is the best for delivering the best video playback, with greater efficiency and in a cost-effective way. Then there are licensing and royalty issues to consider. For this reason, coding efficiency is not the only factor determining the industry’s choice of video coding technology for products and services and there is much movement taking place in the encoding world.

An investigation on how video compression, live or file-based, is all about generating the most cost efficient and high quality final picture to increasingly discerning viewers
Simone Ferrara, SVP Technology and IP Strategy at V-Nova, gives InBroadcast a view inside the development of a new standard developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group, MPEG-5 Part 2 LCEVC.
V-Nova is proclaiming how P+ will transform the codec landscape by providing operators with a way to deploy better video quality with lower encoding costs to existing and future workflows.
