Tech Papers 2019: This paper introduces the MPEG-5 Essential Video Coding (EVC) standard, developed to balance technical performance with business requirements such as licensing, aiming to enable efficient video compression and rapid, widespread adoption across the media industry.
Abstract
For more than 30 years, digitalization in the media industry has enabled new services, increased reach of conventional services and brought a continuously improving TV experience to consumers all over the world. One of the most central technology components in digital media distribution and consumption is compression and in particular video compression, since video data represents by far the largest amount of data in most media services. Over the years, multiple different video coding standards and proprietary codecs have emerged and the compression performance of new generations of codecs is constantly improving.
