The constrained automotive turf offers unique opportunities for video innovations that could pave the way for more sophisticated car head units Like many of you, I spend the most amount of time inside my car, when away from work or home. The saving grace is, while not yet the living room on wheels that it […]
State-of-the-art platforms to enable rapid growth in advanced video formats like HEVC 2017 will perhaps be our busiest year at the IBC show yet. Over the next four days, we will be engaging with several industry players to define the future of their products and solutions, and in turn the future of video encoding itself. […]
Key factors that enable scalability Why chunked encoding? One of the biggest challenges with on-demand video is delivering the most optimal content for distribution. While multiple ABR representations, higher resolutions like 4K, higher frame rates and newer compression formats like HEVC and VP9 contribute to improvements in user experience, the encoding process gets increasingly complex […]
Having enhanced the speed of libvpx, we are now addressing improvements in quality. VP9 video encoding algorithms, as implemented in libvpx – the open source software video codec library from Google – offer a BD rate improvement of 35-40% over H.264/AVC encoders. The bandwidth gains it enables, combined with its royalty free distribution model, make […]
Unravel the advantages of the open source video codec, led by the Alliance for Open Media (AOM) The Internet streaming media industry is hoping for greater innovation in video encoding with the advent of AV1 – a royalty free video codec currently under standardization by the Alliance for Open Media. The AV1 advantage Prior to […]
Content preparation with High Dynamic Range (HDR) video involves a lot of processing before the codec (encoder) comes into play. Providing correctly processed inputs to the encoder is essential to preserve the range of colors. HDTV, UHDTV and Color Spaces The color spaces supported by TVs and mobile devices have evolved significantly over the years. […]
This is the 100th year of SMPTE and the Annual Technical Conference (ATC) held between 24th and 28th of October was a landmark event celebrated by the industry. We were humbled to be a part of this event and put together our insights about relevance and readiness of VP9 for the online video industry in […]
libvpx is a software video codec library from Google which serves as the reference software implementation for the VP8 and VP9 video coding standards. libvpx is distributed as open source software under a revised BSD License. VP9 video encoding algorithms, as implemented in libvpx, offer a BD rate improvement of up to 40% over H.264/AVC […]
