Video Breakthroughs

Despite increases in network capacity over the last decade, the thirst for more and higher quality video means compression is still a critical element in TV delivery. In this IBC2011 discussion, Dr Paul Stallard and Matthew Goldman from the CTO Group at Ericsson's TV Business consider next-generation compression technologies including HEVC and MPEG DASH. HEVC could support full-resolution 3DTV, ultra high-def and provide a leapfrog option for HD service providers using M2. It could also ensure longer battery life for mobiles and tablets decoding video. Meanwhile, DASH could bring some much-needed rationalisation to the delivery of adaptive bit rate services.

H.265/HEVC, a new emerging standard for video coding, promises to improve coding efficiency compared to H.264/AVC High Profile. The value of HEVC is to deliver same video quality as AVC at a reduced bitrate. As a leading supplier of software and hardware AVC, MVC and SVC CODECs, VSS is targeting HEVC as its next software and hardware technology introduction. VSS will demonstrate a working HEVC demo at IBC by appointment only.

Vanguard is also launching vCompress Pro, a Windows professional end-user tool. It is the first of its kind to unlock the advanced coding features in AVC, MVC and SVC standards while simplifying its usage with ready to use presents for most popular applications. The modular design of vCompress Pro offers its users a cost effective way to select the most desired functions through a set of plug-ins, including: Internet, Mobile and Broadcast VOD, AVC-Intra mezzanine file, 2D and 3D Blu-ray and much more.
