Scope
MPEG has already delivered audio and video coding technology and standards for decoding video and audio for over 30 years. The video work is performed jointly with ITU-T, called JVET.
Summary
The currently relevant MPEG/JVET video standards
Using a different video codec changes the bandwidth and energy used in the end-to-end chain. The AVC and HEVC standard is the most commonly used:
- 264: Advanced Video Coding (AVC) is the most widely used standard in international video coding standards.
- 265: High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). HEVC has approximately twice the compression capability of its H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
- 266: Versatile Video Coding (VVC), It is the successor to High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC)
MPEG-B: Energy-Efficient Media Consumption (MPEG green metadata). A standard that defines metadata enabling a decoder to consume less energy while providing a usable video.
Relevance for EXIGENCE
In the part where we reduce the amount of energy in the end2end chain, it is possible to choose from the encoding standards and the availability of MPEG Green Metadata to change the total energy consumption. This relates to orchestration, energy optimisation, and green incentives.
